Dear John,

Twenty years ago, I received a 35-year-to-life sentence. Today, I'm writing to you as a free man, a father, and a mentor who protects youth in DC.

This personal transformation was possible because I was given a second chance when I was allowed to come home after serving two decades of my sentence. Now, as the End Life Imprisonment Campaign Associate at The Sentencing Project, I'm fighting to ensure others get the same opportunity.

John, this is where you come in.  And now with an extended deadline your gift will be matched until September 30th, so there's still time to give! Your support for the Community Safety Action Fund is critical in proving that we can build safer communities while ending mass incarceration.

People can change. The research is real, and I am living proof of it. Sharing my experiences can transform young lives by helping to steer them away from crime.  I bring a unique perspective to communities and the streets are safer because I'm on them making a difference.

But right now, there are attempts to roll back vital reforms that offer people like me the opportunity to contribute in positive ways to society. We can't let that happen. We are building a movement for meaningful change in the criminal legal system, and we need your help.

Thanks to a generous matching gift offer, all donations made until September 30th will be DOUBLED. That means 200% the impact in creating more success stories like mine.

Will you stand with us?

Your support could be the difference between a life behind bars and a life that contributes to our communities and makes our streets safer.

Thank you for believing in the power of second chances!

With gratitude,

Warren Allen

End Life Imprisonment Campaign Associate
