Dear friend,

I hope your new year is off to a good start. After a quick break over the holiday, we're back in full swing and ready to fight for much-needed criminal justice reform.

We have a full agenda ahead for 2023, including:

*
Urging
Congress
(and
a
handful
of
states)
to
end
the
racist
crack-powder
sentencing
disparity;
promoting
second
look
laws;
eliminating
mandatory
minimums;
and
preventing
states
from
enacting
new
mandatory
sentences.
*
Pushing
the
U.S.
Sentencing
Commission
to
expand
compassionate
release
and
lobbying
more
states
to
broaden
their
medical
and
geriatric
release
programs.
*
Continuing
to
push
for
independent
oversight
of
all
federal
and
state
prisons
to
better
ensure
humane
treatment
for
incarcerated
individuals.
*
Continue
our
#VisitAPrison
campaign
and
“Free
to
Succeed”
storytelling
initiative
to
increase
awareness
about
who
is
serving
lengthy,
unjust
prison
sentences,
and
why
we
need
to
give
more
people
second
chances.

We also plan to identify, empower, and mobilize affected families so that it is easier for them to have their voices heard by policymakers.

That's where we'll need you, everyone. I hope you'll continue to support us and advocate with us into 2023 and beyond. Be on the lookout for ways you can participate in advocacy days, call-in campaigns, signing letters or petitions, and similar activities. Lawmakers need to know that their constituents care about justice reform—and are willing to hold their elected representatives accountable for failing to act.

We have a lot of work coming up! I’m not worried, though—I'm ready to fight. Can I count on you to fight with us, friends?

Best,
