Dear John, More than a year ago, George Floyd was murdered at the hands of police — he was not the first nor, sadly, the last. Racism infects all aspects of our society, particularly the criminal legal system. That must change! To achieve racial justice, we must transform the entire criminal legal system to focus on humanity, rehabilitation, prevention and public safety for all – not just a privileged few. John, will you consider a gift of $15 today? You can be at The Sentencing Project’s side as we build on the momentum that our work has generated for racial justice and put an end to mass incarceration nationwide. |

Our research shows: - One in 5 Black men in prison is serving a life sentence.
- Black youth are 5X more likely to be incarcerated than their white peers.
- One of every 16 Black Americans has lost their voting rights due to a felony conviction, vs. 1 in every 59 non-Black voters.
Does that make you think our criminal legal system provides equal justice for all? Stand with us by making a tax-deductible contribution today. |
