Dear A.J.,
Thank you for your contribution to The Marshall Project. Your generosity helps sustain our efforts to make factual critical information on the criminal justice system free and accessible to as many people as possible. Will you help us continue our independent reporting by making it a recurring monthly donation?
Monthly donations allow us to expand our efforts and help fill the information void for people who are currently incarcerated via News Inside and Inside Story. News Inside, a print publication distributed in more than 1000 facilities, and Inside Story, a video series that conveys the realities of the U.S. criminal justice system, create opportunities for those who are incarcerated to access factual non-partisan reporting about criminal justice.
Donations from concerned and compassionate people like you allow us to continue our award-winning journalism that directly influences change in policies and practices. For instance, our investigation into the abuse in federal prisons contributed to the D.C. City Council requiring additional reporting from monitoring agencies. This is just one of many examples of how access to critical non-profit reporting acts as a powerful agent for change.
The Marshall Project relies on your donations to sustain our work and expand our reach. As a thank you, donating gives you the benefit of receiving tri-annual impact reports detailing our influence and outcomes; a yearly analysis of criminal justice reform; and early and discounted tickets to special criminal justice related events. And of course, your financial contributions to our efforts give you the knowledge that you are making it possible for our work to continue to inform and spur changes to our criminal justice system.
Your support is needed and appreciated! Help us keep our reporting independent by making a recurring monthly donation.
Thank you,
The Marshall Project Team

Dear Brian,
The increase in extreme climate events impacts all of our lives. Like you, we at the Center for Progressive Reform are concerned. Join us in the fight to curb climate change and ensure a healthier environment by donating today. Help us use the power of law and public policy to create progressive change.
At the Center for Progressive Reform, we address climate change with a justice lens; recognizing how it has a disproportionate effect on the health and well-being of communities of color and low-income communities. We collaborate with community activists and advocates to identify pressing issues and conduct scholarly research to deliver solutions. Our efforts are geared towards protecting vulnerable populations, helping ensure state agencies pursue federal funding opportunities, and working to reform state governance. One example is our current campaign to ensure equity in North Carolina as the state transitions to clean energy. The campaign is focused on making sure that energy is affordable to everyone and that all communities are engaged in the decision-making process. Campaigns like this one are made possible by concerned people who are ready to take action (like you!).
Help us continue our vital work to address climate change and inform policy centering racial and economic justice. Your donation makes it possible for us to conduct independent research and policy analysis and allows us to advocate for effective solutions to curb climate change, ensure economic justice, and create healthy workplaces and communities for everyone.
Join us and help safeguard our lives, our communities, and our environment by donating here, today. Your donation makes a difference.
Thank you for taking action.
-The Center for Progressive Reform Team

Dear Julia,
Like you, we are alarmed at the various moves across the US to criminalize reproductive choices and restrict rights. But we don’t have to sit by and watch it happen. With your help we can continue to fight to make reproductive freedom a reality for everyone. If/When/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice is working with legal experts and communities across the US to respond to pressing needs and protect our rights and access to affordable and legal abortions, contraception, and pregnancy care.
Become part of the solution by joining our team. Learn how to apply your legal skills to advocate and fight for reproductive justice by becoming part of the Reproductive Justice Lawyers Network (RJLN). By joining the network you’ll not only partner with us to collectively build a more just and equal society, but you’ll also (a) have the opportunity to be mentored by and learn from established and experienced reproductive justice experts, (b) take part in workshops and continuing education opportunities, and (c) gain access to a resource library and networking forum with other members. Partner with us and learn how to better put your knowledge and power to use to create real social change.
