Dear friend,

The First Step Act was a major victory for justice reform, but we can't stop there. That's why FAMM has been advocating "second look" sentencing provisions that would allow people in prison an opportunity to be resentenced after serving some time and meeting specific criteria for rehabilitation.

This fight is ongoing, and FAMM needs your continued support to see it through. Will you help us by becoming a Friend of FAMM and making a monthly contribution?

This week, you'll hear from one of our longtime supporters, Peter Ninemire. Peter gives monthly to FAMM because he knows firsthand how devastating it is to serve an excessive sentence. And as a clemency recipient, Peter also knows how meaningful it is to be given a second chance.

I can't wait for you to hear Peter's story — I know you'll be amazed by what he's accomplished since his release.

Peter is not who most people might think of when they think of people in prison. But the truth is, there are thousands of individuals just like him languishing in prisons throughout the country. People with focus and dreams and wasted potential. People who deserve a second chance. Having them locked up all these years is not making us any safer.

Please become a Friend of FAMM today so we can continue to fight for them together.

Sincerely,


Kevin Ring
President, FAMM

P.S. A generous donor is matching every gift we receive through the end of the year. If you become a Friend of FAMM today, your contributions will go twice as far!
