Hello friend,

This GivingTuesday we're calling on you to join in our fight for justice at a time when the stakes couldn't be higher.

The post-election climate is sobering. A second Trump presidency threatens to entrench harsh policies around policing, incarceration, and surveillance—policies that harm the very communities we stand with every day.

But here's the thing: we've faced tough battles before—and we've won.

At Campaign Zero, we've passed more laws, reshaped more policies around policing and mass incarceration than any activist organization in a generation, built impactful data tools, and forged strong connections with communities nationwide. Now, our work is under direct threat—not just from harmful policing policies but from legislation like HR 9495, known as the "nonprofit killer," that threatens nonprofits like ours.

Since our inception, Campaign Zero has always been funded by the people.

With your support Campaign Zero has:

• Helped pass hundreds of policies to reduce police violence.
• Led the passing of the first removal of a state Law Enforcement Officer Bill of Rights.
• Equipped grassroots organizations with data tools to fuel advocacy.
• Helped pass the first state-wide No-Knock Laws in U.S. history.
• Helped End ShotSpotter contracts in 15 cities, fighting harmful policing technologies.
• Supported the Michael O.D. Brown Foundation, honoring his legacy and supporting Lesley McSpadden.
• And more…

And we've done this and more while building campaigns and processes to power the future of data and policy organizing. While this list is by no means exhaustive, it captures a few of the accomplishments we're most proud of— That's 10 years of relentless advocacy powered by research and driven by people like you.

This GivingTuesday, your support is more than a donation—it's a lifeline for justice.

Our data-driven campaigns—like Mapping Police Violence, 8 Can't Wait, Cancel ShotSpotter, and our advocacy campaigns like Free Keith Davis Jr. (who, after his release from prison due in part to Campaign Zero's advocacy, voted in his first U.S. presidential election this November)—have achieved meaningful change. But our work goes beyond the campaigns. This year, we've:

• Partnered with WIN Shelter to host a back-to-school block party for children at New York's largest homeless shelter.
• Supported the Michael O.D. Brown Foundation to fund scholarships for St. Louis students.
• Won Gold at the 2024 Anthem Awards for our campaigns – ‘Rikers in Crisis,' ‘Cancel Shotspotter,' and ‘Free Keith Davis Jr.'
• Hosted “Friendraisers” nationwide, including social justice film screenings, to build awareness and foster restorative connections.
• Witnessed our work as the subject of a Hulu documentary, Making of an Activist.
• And more…

Here are some moments from 2024 that capture these efforts and the lives we've impacted:

The next four years could roll back our progress while cementing systemic harm—or they could mark a turning point. Let's make GivingTuesday the start of something transformative—together.

In the coming weeks, you'll hear more from us as we strategize for the road ahead and share ways to engage in this fight. Until then, visit impact.campaignzero.org to learn more about how we work toward our mission daily. Consider donating this GivingTuesday to continue the work toward justice.

Together, we'll push forward with determination and build a future rooted in justice.

We will win.

In solidarity,

Campaign Zero
