Project Description

Established in 2019, our mission is to help those who have been impacted by long-term incarceration, mass incarceration and financial exclusion to build their credit profiles as part of their reentry journey. This year, we are focusing on re-imagining what financial justice looks for justice-impacted communities starting with a campaign that all incarcerated persons have their credits and debt frozen.
