The Sentencing Project examines laws that, at face value, may appear logical and reasonable but don’t align with our stated values and principles as a justice system. I was a Superior Court Judge in Cumberland County, North Carolina when The Sentencing Project contacted me about the state’s Racial Justice Act. Following our discussions, I was invited to join the Board of Directors, and that was one of the best experiences of my life – to partner alongside others fighting the good fight. Today, I proudly support them as a monthly donor.

Your life can change in a minute. You can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, even among close family and friends. There’s a spectrum of people, women of color in particular, who are affected by the system. I’ve seen how people are kept in a cell for days at a time without adequate support. My monthly contribution is to give them hope through The Sentencing Project and to safely bring them home.

It has always been my belief that the moment you learn about an issue, action should be taken to address it. Once I learned about the various issues in the prison system, I decided I need to take action. What I tell my friends and family is, don’t wait until the injustices of a system affect you and your loved ones, take action now.

While I was teaching Native American lit at the University of Nebraska, a colleague suggested I engage with Native Americans in the prison just down the street. I brought in books like Race to Incarcerate and its graphic novel version, which were well-received, especially by those with lower literacy skills. This experience led me to advocate for sentence reductions, parole eligibility, and against new prison construction, utilizing resources from The Sentencing Project. Recognizing my reliance on their information, I became a monthly donor to support their work.
