Looking back on 2019 reminds me of what an incredible experience it is to do our work. Reflecting also confirms how 2019 set us up for yet another decade of monumental change. I am so grateful for our team, board, partners, and supporters like you because you all make the work successful. And I’m excited to share some of the greatest moments from this year with you, through our 2019 Impact Report.
In May, we saw the end of a long battle when we sat with our partners in the New Hampshire legislature and watched lawmakers end the state’s death penalty — one more sign that the death penalty is on its way out.
Four years ago, we launched Trauma to Trust, a training program that brings police and community members together to foster empathy and understanding of trauma. Since then, we’ve trained over 500 officers and community members in Newark, NJ, and are continuing to expand our reach.
Within that same amount of time, we’ve raised more than $4 million for community organizations across the nation that are serving survivors of violence and trauma.
Please take a few minutes to read about the other milestones and key moments of 2019. Everything we do is driven by our vision for justice reimagined.
We’ve achieved so much this year and will continue to bring the change we wish to see with you by our side. Make your own impact by giving a gift to EJUSA today.
