#cut50

Please spare what you can to help where it is needed... If you can’t donate in these trying times, it is understandable. A share can also go a long ways to getting to word out to help us in this cause. 

Prison doors and open doors of opportunity for people incarcerated in the United States who are being subjected to inhumane and unjust treatment. To be clear, this isn’t an issue of guilt or innocence; it’s a human rights issue. No person should face abuse or risk death due to a lack of adequate resources and proper, humane treatment. WHAT we are doing : Creating fundraiser page on gofundme and getting at least 10 donations of a minimum of $10 (GoFundMe's lowest denomination). we are reaching out to the global community and our social networks to make a contribution. WHAT YOUR DONATIONS DO: Your donations will help fund Dream Corps’ efforts to “#cut50” — a bipartisan effort to cut crime and incarceration across all 50 states - while moving the needle toward criminal justice reform on several levels to create a more equitable and just system. Funds from this campaign will go to programs that: (1) create dignity and safety for incarcerated people. (2) provide critically needed policy change that expands life-saving treatment, testing, sanitation gear to protect those behind bars from the pandemic, (3) fight for badly-needed legislative prison reform that reduces incarceration and provides fair chances for people when they return to communities, and (4) support advocacy programs that help formerly incarcerated leaders share their experiences with those empowered to change the system - changing minds, hearts, and laws. We invite you to please join us in achieving our goal of raising 100,000 to help change the lives of people who experienced atrocities and prejudices similar to Pamela Winn. DONATIONS ARE 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE AND 100% OF THE DONATIONS GO TO THESE EFFORTS (for countries other than the U.S., deductions are contingent on your laws).

I’ve called & also sent an email to support clemency for Rodney Reed. We grow tired, we grow back into spaces EVERYTHING around us was built to ENSLAVE (mentally, physically, spiritually) US by. And mainly, we know how many situations have presented themselves as impossible to pass through yet when 2 or 3 gathered to help, we’ve moved mountains. Let’s do it again. I pray this finds the heart & pulls! ♥️

The criminal justice system isn’t as... well, “black and white” as they made it look for television. Not all criminal activity is treated equally, and sometimes, not all ‘criminals’ actually committed the crime. However, if they are prosecuted, they may not get the proper sentencing. Let’s not forget when they leave the prison system that some may not have a safety net to return to, or even can be looked at without being treated like they served time, thus making life harder for their return.

#cut50 is a national, bi-partisan initiative to reduce the prison population while making our communities safer. Their campaigns are led by people who have been directly impacted by the justice system and want to create change in all areas of the Criminal Justice system. 

They are here to talk about the hard truths of America’s Criminal justice system and bringing down the nation’s incarnation rate by 50%.

NEWS Thousands of federal inmates to be released under criminal justice overhaul By Marisa Schultz July 19, 2019 | 1:47pm  Getty Images Nearly 3,100 federal inmates will be released from prisons nationwide Friday under the first major milestone of the First Step Act. Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen said the en masse release is possible because inmates’ sentences were lightened under the criminal justice reform legislation signed into law by President Trump last year. The law increased good time credit and reduced felons’ sentences. The largest number of inmates who will see immediate freedom were convicted of drug offenses, followed by weapons/explosive convictions and sex offenses, according to Justice officials. #cut50 #justleadershipusa #IAmMyCommunityinc https://www.instagram.com/p/B0LqDAmleYu/?igshid=126uon444gv02
