Dear [First Name],

Right now, well-funded efforts are underway to undo hard-won progress.  We’ve seen this before. The implementation and expansion of reactionary policies that expand extreme sentencing, target younger people with harsher punishments, and make it harder for people with records to vote. 

But here’s the truth: we aren’t giving up until our criminal legal system works for all of us.

We need to raise $25,000 for The Sentencing Project’s Annual Fund to power this fight in 2025 and beyond. This is your chance to make a difference. It’s time to take action again. Will you make your gift today?

Our Annual Fund has helped: 

✅ Pass sentencing reform laws like Maryland's 2025 Second Look Act.

🗳️ Restore voting rights to 7,000 Nebraskans who could not vote directly after their felony sentence.

📖 Expose the truth of effective responses to crime that minimize imprisonment and criminalization of youth and adults through 38 new research and advocacy publications.

This progress didn’t happen because we waited for permission. It happened because people like you took action.

Giving today is an act of solidarity with others across the country who are demanding justice for all.  It’s an act of defiance against unjust systems, of hope for people still incarcerated, and of commitment to real change. 

Thank you in advance,

Kara Gotsch

Executive Director
