Dear friends:

You can help The Sentencing Project work to make criminal justice reform a reality in 2010.

There's still time to make a year-end gift to help The Sentencing Project advocate for more rational, effective and compassionate criminal justice policies in 2010.

Today, criminal justice reform is far more possible than it was just one year ago.  

Please make a gift to The Sentencing Project today to help us work for eliminating the disparity in sentences for crack vs. powder cocaine offenses, ending juvenile life without parole, reducing racial disparities, and promoting effective re-entry programs, voting rights for people with felony convictions, and alternatives to incarceration.

Thank you.

Happy New Year from all of us at The Sentencing Project.

Marc Mauer
Executive Director
