Another Year in Impact – Read the report

2018 Impact report

As the Executive Director of EJUSA, I have a front row seat to the change EJUSA makes every single day on the way to transforming the justice system. I’m deeply grateful to you and our amazing staff, board, and partners for giving me that honor.

That’s why it brings me great pleasure to share with you EJUSA’s 2018 Impact Report.

When I gathered the information for this report, I was awed by what we have accomplished together. From the death penalty to police violence to racial bias to community violence – EJUSA is taking on the toughest challenges to replace harmful systems with healing. Together we are saving lives.

This holiday season, I want to thank you for making our work together possible. Your generosity and encouragement have made 2018 a banner year for EJUSA.
