Programs & Activities

Program 1

$620K

Our films & series program provides pro-bono impact campaign partnership for projects with system-impacted filmmakers at the helm. Each year, we identify and support national campaigns for films that are helmed by formerly incarcerated storytellers. This gives the storytellers access to critical resources, strategy, and support to mobilize audiences in ways that further their work and creates partnership opportunities and relationships with other movement leaders across the country. Since 2019, we have led national impact campaigns for seven feature films that address pressing issues in the criminal legal system. Our film campaigns team has produced 1,200+ screenings across the country, educating 60,000+ audiences on issues of mass incarceration.

Program 2

$190K

Our speakers bureau showcases the ecosystem of system-impacted leaders who work in partnership with represent justice to change the culture of the legal system. The bureau is an engine of economic mobility and opportunity for dozens of individuals impacted by the system who are facing numerous barriers, including access to living wage jobs. This investment in the creatives we work with helps accelerate their growth and long-term sustainability as public-facing leaders in the justice movement.
