Jack,



Every day, families in the United States are unnecessarily being torn apart.
Millions of children are being separated from their parents because of our
harmful system of mass incarceration.



Too often, the U.S. criminal legal system fails to recognize that many people
who face criminal charges need assistance, not punishment. And when a parent is
punished with incarceration, it also sentences their children to harm.


Sign on if you agree: Parents and caregivers should not be separated from
their children because of unjust incarceration practices in the U.S.

Children with an incarcerated parent are more likely to be held back in school
or drop out entirely. But it doesn’t end there—they are also more likely to
develop substance use disorders and be involved in the criminal legal system.



Vera is working to invest in solutions like community-based alternatives to
incarceration that can help keep families together.



Together, we can build stronger and safer communities. Join Vera and demand
that parents must not be separated from their children.
