Free Them All: A Mass Commutations Convening
The Survived and Punished NYC Mass Commutation Organizing Campaign is working to pressure NY State to commute the sentences of survivors of intimate partner violence and other racialized, gender-based violence who are in prison throughout the state. Our goal is to have the governor commute survivors’ sentences by the end of 2018.
This event is a call to action to join the Mass Commutation Organizing Campaign.
