PROTECT SB 2 FOR CALIFORNIANS!
Support the Safe Return Project
Please consider supporting our work so that we may continue to invest in building a base of power at the political, social, and economic levels of formerly incarcerated persons across the state of California, addressing the root causes of poverty and the impact that the criminal legal system has had on black people and communities of color. This kind of collective power will drive larger political strategies by the formerly incarcerated at the state and national levels and increase mobilization to fight for the rights and opportunities of people coming home from incarceration.
