On behalf of the staff of EJI, the hundreds of wrongly convicted or unfairly sentenced people we represent, the hundreds of community groups we work with to promote healthier communities, the thousands of families we serve through our anti-poverty initiative and the hundreds of thousands of people who have visited our sites this year, we want to thank you for your support of EJI.
There is so much work to be done to create more hope, justice and relief for people in this country who struggle, suffer and experience injustice, inequality and abuse. We are committed to doing everything we can to protect basic human rights for the poor, the vulnerable and the imprisoned in America. We are equally committed to confronting our nation’s long history of racial injustice and educating and inspiring people to reckon with the burden created by racial bigotry.
This has been a remarkable year at EJI. We have won relief for several condemned prisoners facing execution and we have provided urgently needed health care or food to thousands of people struggling with food insecurity and poverty. We have continued our work to help people leaving prison succeed at re-entry. We educated and provided scholarships to scores of high school students and we’ve been honored to work with over 200 communities across the country on reckoning with our nation’s history of racial injustice.
Close to a half million people have visited our sites in 2024, including our new Freedom Monument Sculpture Park which opened in the Spring. As efforts to limit what students learn about our history of inequality have grown, the importance of our Legacy Sites has never been more urgent.
We are able to do all of this work because of the generous support provided by donors like you. We are honored by your contributions and committed to continuing the fight for racial and economic justice and essential human rights in America. Thank you for standing with us as we prepare to meet new challenges in 2025.
