GALAXY LEADER FELLOWSHIP
The Galaxy Leader Fellowship program holistically supports directly impacted grassroots organizers, executive directors, lawyers, advocates, artists, and others who have dedicated their lives to ending our nation’s punitive criminal justice system. It considers the entirety of the person’s contribution to the field, providing both a deeper and wider range of support for leaders working to end mass incarceration.
