SAFE
RETURN
PROJECT
It has been ten incredible years since the launch of the Safe Return Project and we are looking forward to the promise of a new decade that brings us closer to mass liberation, racial equity, and a more just world.
To celebrate the positive impact we have had on the lives of thousands of formerly incarcerated individuals and their families, our accomplishments in policy and advocacy, the community we have built for ourselves, and this year’s graduating fellows, we will be hosting our 10-year anniversary celebration on April 23, 2022 from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM PDT.
Join us for great music, local food and drink, and the chance to build community as we celebrate the empowerment of our fellows! I can think of no greater cause for celebration than the incredible personal transformations our fellows have developed within Richard Boyd Fellowship program! They really have done an incredible job - this is their day!
Voting Rights
Our right to vote!
Without our voice, our lives will continue to change without our say. We are not the only ones that are directly impacted, so are our family, loved ones, and friends.
Join us as we embrace our most valuable record, our voting history.
