Get Involved
Join us in the fight to promote a more humane and equitable U.S. criminal legal system. Your awareness, activism, and support is vital to making a difference to the individuals, families, and communities impacted by mass incarceration.
Take Action
Changing laws and policies to end mass incarceration require a mass movement. Here are ways you can engage at the federal, state, and local levels.
Support the Second Look Act
Urge your senators to support legislation to give people in federal prisons an opportunity to be resentenced after 10 years of incarceration.
Support the EQUAL Act
Urge your senators to support legislation to bring the federal justice system more in line with the vast majority of states that do not punish crack and powder cocaine differently.
Support the COVID-19 Safer Detention Act and the First Step Implementation Act
Two bipartisan bills have the potential to reduce mass incarceration, reunite families, and better guarantee the health and safety of the federally incarcerated population.
Restore Voting Rights to Returning Citizens
Across the country confusing laws that exclude people with felony convictions from voting have extreme consequences. Your support for legislation that restores federal voting rights to all returning citizens can make a difference.
