Dear John, This past year we have seen a growing movement to include people convicted of serious offenses in criminal justice reform efforts. While we acknowledge that we have a long way to go to end mass incarceration, The Sentencing Project is proud to be a leading voice in pushing the national conversation towards a fair and effective justice system for all. I'm pleased to share with you below some of our recent activities in our 2019 Annual Newsletter. Highlights include: -
 Documenting the growing number of states that have introduced legislation to scale back long-term sentences and building coalitions around ending life imprisonment - Reporting successful reforms in 19 states that have produced more effective, fiscally sound, and humane policies for people with violent convictions
- Advocating on behalf of successful “Raise the Age” efforts in the juvenile justice system
- Fighting for the fair and expedient implementation of the First Step Act passed by Congress
- Working with state organizers to expand voting rights to people with felony convictions
Our work is made possible with the support of people like you. Please consider a year-end tax-deductible donation to help us further advance justice reform in 2019. With your support, we can achieve even more. Regards,  Marc Mauer
