OUR
APPROACH

We believe our democracy is the best vehicle to transform our society because we believe in the power of people to solve our big problems. In a democracy, the people can change their circumstances and systems without revolution and without violence. Instead, people can create change by organizing and raising up their voices to demand something different. Whether it’s transforming our criminal legal system, ending gun violence or saving our planet, the power is in our hands. Our punitive justice system could never exist if the power held by the tens of millions of people impacted by it was unleashed at the ballot box. 

However, that power is not equally distributed and is concentrated in the hands of too few. That’s why we invest in the communities and leaders so that they have the power, the infrastructure, and the solutions to solve our big problems.

THE IMPACT OF OUR GRANTEE PARTNERS

A New Way of Life Reentry Project promotes healing, power, and opportunity for formerly incarcerated people by taking a multifaceted approach to mitigating the effects of, and ultimately eliminating, mass incarceration.

A New Way of Life Reentry Project

The Bail Project combats mass incarceration by disrupting the money bail system—one person at a time. We restore the presumption of innocence, reunite families, and challenge a system that criminalizes race and poverty. We’re on a mission to end cash bail and create a more just, equitable, and humane pretrial system.

The Bail Project

Worth Rises works to dismantle the prison industry and end the exploitation of people touched by incarceration. In 2021, Worth Rises work led to Connecticut becoming the first state to make prison phone calls free.

"The power that we possess only shows up if we’re registered to vote and show up at the polls.  As we look at returning citizens or people with previous felony convictions, just by sheer numbers, we have more than enough to make a difference in local elections, as well as statewide and national elections. But the key is actually getting those folks to be registered and turned out to the polls."
