Congratulations to Robyn Hasan-Simpson (Leading with Conviction™ 2022), Executive Director of Women on the Rise Georgia, and Dominique Grant (Leading with Conviction™ 2024), Campaign & Operations Manager, for the $1 million grant they received this week from MacKenzie Scott’s foundation, Yield Giving!
“Every day in Atlanta, more of our community members find themselves entangled in the carceral system due to a lack of access to vital mental health services and the criminalization of poverty. Our unwavering mission has been to dismantle the cycle of mass incarceration, and fight for collective liberation. This funding will arm Women on the Rise with the essential tools needed to press forward in our fight against systemic injustice.”
In addition, we are celebrating with Johnny Perez (Leading with Conviction™ 2017), Director of the U.S. Prisons Program at the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, which also received a $1 million grant from Yield Giving: “This gift provides a needed financial boost as NRCAT builds the leadership of solitary survivors and faith allies in programs focused on healing, educational opportunities, advocacy, networking, and coalition building. We are grateful to be able to better grow our work as we empower those most harmed by solitary confinement and other harsh prison conditions.”
In our 10th anniversary year, JustLeadershipUSA’s work of educating, elevating, and empowering justice-impacted leaders continues and is growing even stronger!
We are preparing for our very special 10th anniversary gala in New York City on October 21st, and we would love for you to be there with us.
This is going to be a very special time to look back on the past decade of JLUSA’s important work, the 1,600+ leaders we have helped get to the next level in their work, and even more importantly, we will look ahead to the next 10 years and beyond!
We can’t do this without you. We need your support to help us continue to do this work now and into the future. By purchasing a $50 streaming ticket, you are saying to the amazing leaders in our network who represent the 70+ million Americans who have been directly impacted by the criminal legal system, “I see you, and I support you!”
Please plan now to join us in person or give a one-time $100 gift or set up a recurring $10 monthly donation to celebrate JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, and together we will build a fair and just U.S. Thank you!
