Our Impact

Every time I turn on the news I see another mass shooting. Another police shooting. I see people of color and poor people railroaded into prisons. And I see survivors struggling in silence – neglected, forgotten.

It’s devastating. We need real solutions that address violence head on. Violence by the justice system. Community violence. All of it.

Every day I ask people to join me in supporting EJUSA’s visionary work. Today I’m asking you. Will you close out the year with a gift of $25, $55, $75, or even $100?

I spent almost two decades organizing and running policy campaigns. But I left that work to dedicate myself to raising money for EJUSA. That’s how deeply I believe in this organization.

Your gift does more than support EJUSA’s campaigns. It makes an impact for small, grassroots groups led by people of color – groups that do powerful healing work with trauma survivors in their communities, but struggle to keep the lights on.

EJUSA helped drive more than $1.6 million in federal funds to these groups – funds that should go to them anyway but almost never do. In 2018, more survivors will get help thanks to you.

Our work must continue. Because December is the most important time of year for fundraising, two long-time donors have challenged me to raise $50,000 for EJUSA this month. If you give today, they will match it to meet the challenge. Please give as generously as you can.

EJUSA has a bold, innovative vision for justice and the talent to deliver. It is a joy to spend my days asking people like you to join me. We can do it because you are behind us.
