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.
