Become a Sustainer of Freedom

Every day, innocent people in New England remain behind bars for crimes they did not commit and suffer the trauma after long-term incarceration. Monthly giving is one of the most powerful ways to sustain our work and create lasting impact — one case, one family, and one future at a time.

  • Help people and families rebuild by investing in healing after long-term incarceration.

  • Strengthen efforts to address the systemic harms of the criminal legal system.

  • Join a community of changemakers committed to building a more just and humane future.

Monthly giving is one of the most powerful ways to sustain this work and create lasting impact — one case, one family, and one future at a time.
