Dear friend,
At FAMM, we're trying to raise $200,000 by December 31 to help us work for second chances – and advance our mission. Will you give a gift today to help us reach our goal? [link removed] [[link removed]]
In 2022, with your help, even in a difficult environment, FAMM was able to achieve significant victories, including the following:
*
Retroactive
sentencing
reform
in
Tennessee.
Early
in
2022,
we
convinced
the
Tennessee
legislature
to
make
the
2020
drug-free
school
zone
law
reform
retroactive.
Several
hundred
people
are
eligible
for
shorter,
fairer
sentences,
and
already
we
have
heard
from
some
who
are
now
free
because
of
this
reform.
*
Expanding
compassionate
release
in
California.
FAMM
sponsored
a
bill
to
reform
California's
broken
compassionate
release
program.
The
legislature
and
governor
agreed
with
us
that
wasting
millions
on
incarcerating
sick
and
elderly
people
does
not
make
our
communities
safer.
Our
reform
was
signed
into
law
in
early
October.
*
Fixing
the
federal
crack
disparity.
In
Washington,
D.C.,
we
helped
build
broad
bipartisan
support
to
eliminate
the
disparity
between
federal
sentences
for
crimes
involving
crack
and
powder
cocaine.
We
remain
hopeful
that
Congress
will
fix
this
racially
discriminatory
law
before
the
end
of
the
year.
If
we
are
successful,
more
than
7,000
families
could
be
reunited
sooner.
*
Preserved
gains
in
Pennsylvania.
FAMM
once
again
led
a
successful
effort
to
block
reinstatement
of
drug-
and
gun-related
mandatory
minimums,
despite
bipartisan
calls
to
bring
them
back.
We
also
played
a
key
role
in
convincing
Gov.
Tom
Wolf
to
veto
a
proposal
that
would
have
required
mandatory
prison
time
for
some
probation
violations.
By giving today, you'll help us do even more in 2023. Will you give a gift right now to help us reach our goal? [link removed] [[link removed]]
