In Collaboration With

Release Aging  People in Prison (RAPP) is a grassroots advocacy campaign created and led by formerly incarcerated people. We work to end the racist law-and-order policies that have more than doubled the number of elders behind bars over the past 20 years, to expand the use of parole, compassionate release, and clemency, and to end life imprisonment. By advocating to free incarcerated elders—women and men who have served decades in prison for crimes including those of violence; who have taken responsibility, transformed their lives, developed profound skills and abilities, and who pose little if any public safety risk—we strike at the system of endless punishment that fuels mass incarceration and damages Black and other communities of color.

We Got Us Now is the first of its kind - a national,  nonprofit advocacy organization amplifying the issues that children and young adults impacted by parental incarceration face. With a mission to engage,  educate, elevate and empower this historically invisible population through the use of digital narratives, safe and inclusive spaces and advocacy led campaigns to ensure our voices are at the forefront of strategic,  policies and practices that help to keep families connected,  create fair sentencing and end mass incarceration.
