In these politically divisive times, EJUSA is as committed as ever to standing together with our partners to fight the death penalty and advance justice and healing.
There is tremendous strength in working together. I know this because of you. Your passion, your persistence, your unwavering partnership with EJUSA has made me – and everyone at EJUSA – stronger.
We’re a strong team. And like all strong teams, we keep our eyes on the prize and never, ever rest on our laurels. We can’t. Too many lives are at stake, and too many communities need our help.
I urge you to continue to partner with EJUSA with a gift of $25, $55, $75, or even $100. Working together, we will transform the justice system from one that harms to one that heals.
EJUSA’s vital work – ending the death penalty, strengthening local organizations serving crime survivors in communities of color, and building mutual understanding between police and communities so they can take action together to heal trauma and increase safety – is made possible by your support.
As our partner, you understand this important and challenging work must continue. Your donation today will ensure it does.
EJUSA’s skills and expertise are in higher demand than ever before. Please help us broaden our reach with a gift today.
Thank you for your generosity, trust – and strength.
