Dear friend,

This moment is shaping our country for better or worse. Will you help us continue to strive toward better?

Next week, we will unveil a campaign to give a second chance to everyone serving an extreme, unjust prison sentence. I'm writing today to ask that you make a contribution to help us share this campaign across the country: https://secure.everyaction.com/UCT_4puDKkCSCL2maz23eQ2

For almost three decades, FAMM has been advocating policies with the aim of creating a fairer justice system for us all. We are proud of our success, including reforms that have helped more than half a million people get smarter, fairer sentences.

But we are in a critical moment in history, and we need a movement and an agenda to match the moment. We have seen COVID-19 ravage our nation's prisons and jails, killing more than 1,000 people. And we have seen the stubborn history of racial discrimination elicit the biggest protests in this country’s history.

This is a time for bold reform. The second chances agenda that we will release next week will promote alternatives to the lengthy, often mandatory sentences that have hurt so many families and communities without making us safer.

If you agree that we lock up too many people for too long, please make a gift to help fund our Second Chances campaign. https://secure.everyaction.com/UCT_4puDKkCSCL2maz23eQ2

Help us mobilize the families that have been waiting too long for their loved ones to come home. They can’t wait – and neither should we.

Sincerely,

Kevin Ring
President, FAMM
