Donations keep us working
It’s not news that the United states has the world’s highest incarceration rate.
Most of those incarcerated are young black and Latino men.
70% of the people in jail are being held pretrial and 97% enter plea deals - they never get a change to go to trial.
Those numbers are insane.
Nurses for Social Justice was officially formed in June 2018 to help close the gap between prosecutors and defenders. Our Executive Director has been educating public defenders about medical records and injuries in criminal cases since 2014 and in 2019 she presented to over 1000 public defenders, social workers and investigators in 18 states!
Nurses for Social Justice is the only organization in the country providing this specific type of assistance to public defenders and their clients – people who are facing the overwhelming obstacles of a racist criminal justice system.
Please join us in this effort!
we have expanded our work into compassionate release and parole cases and hope to partner with organizations to assist people with their medical needs when they are released from prison
Sustaining donors
You give us a dependable base. We know the lights will stay on and we can keep working without the constant distraction of fundraising. We need more of you! Please consider becoming a sustaining donor and spreading the news to friends and family (you can follow the CLEs and other shenanigans on social media)!
THank you!
We absolutely could not have done any of this without the support of donors and we hope that you will consider donating. You can do that here, by texting, or even by mailing a check! If a monthly donation isn't for you please consider donating $20, $50, $100, $200 or more - all donations go directly to keeping people out of prison.
