GIVING TUESDAY

Behind every sentence is a human story

 

Please give generously this season so we can continue to collect and tell the stories of our community of formerly incarcerated people and help to build and strengthen our future.

 
 

See some of the work your generous donations helped fund in 2020:

 

This year we started the ambitious task of mapping all formerly incarcerated(FIP)-led services and businesses. The MAP creates the largest network of services and businesses owned or operated by formerly incarcerated people.

  • 510 formerly incarcerated-led services and businesses listed from 42 states

  • We have recorded 51 interviews of life before, during, and post-incarceration

  • We have written and posted blogs of 25 FIP leaders

  • We are running social media campaigns across five platforms

Linked together in this network, we have the potential to become an economic and civic force. Working cooperatively, the network has the potential to be an incubator and learning lab for other formerly incarcerated people.
