John,

Wow, what a month! We welcomed home more than 2,200 community members returning home from federal prison thanks to the First Step Act, introduced the Clean School Bus Act in the U.S. House, and began forging new partnerships to create more job opportunities in the tech sector.

Oh yeah – and we raised $17,888 last month alone, soon to be doubled by a generous donor, totaling a whopping $35,776! If you weren't one of the people who donated in July, you can become one of the first to fund our work in August by giving today.

Thanks to these generous contributions in the month of July, we're gearing up to accomplish even more in the coming months. Here's a sneak peek at what we have in store:

• Printing and distributing 10,000+ copies of the First Step to Second Chances reentry guide for our returning community members navigating life after prison.
• Mobilizing activists on the ground to transition school bus fleets from diesel to electric at the state and county levels.
• Finalizing a partnership that will create opportunities for young adults with dreams of entering the tech sector.

From the teams at #cut50, Green For All, #YesWeCode, and the entire Dream Corps family, we thank you for making this work possible. When we all come together, we can create a greener, freer, and more equitable world for everyone.

To the change we're making and what comes next,

Nisha Anand
CEO, the Dream Corps
