The Sentencing Project

Mission Statement

The Sentencing Project advocates for effective and humane responses to crime that minimize imprisonment and criminalization of youth and adults by promoting racial, ethnic, and gender justice.

Why Donate to The Sentencing Project?

Will you join us in the fight for a more fair and effective criminal legal system?
Your support will allow us to build on this progress and move our ambitious agenda for reform forward: expanding our research and public education capacity, serving an increased number of state and local partners, and changing the national narrative around what effective criminal justice looks like. Most importantly, your contributions ensure that the voices of those most impacted by the system are elevated and heard by those with the power to create long-lasting change. 
Together, we stand for racial justice and an end to mass incarceration. 
We need you with us to make it possible.
