2025 Impact Report
Our 2025 Impact Report is here.
Because of community support, we trained 100+ returning citizens in digital skills, monitored 5,000+ bail hearings, completed 39+ expungements, and saved 2,561 years of prison time. We trained women for the modern workforce, filled courtrooms to ensure accountability, and reinvested in community care.
Behind every number in our 2025 Impact Report is a life stabilized, a family reunited, or time returned. This report reflects both measurable outcomes and the infrastructure required to make freedom possible.
Take a moment to read what we built together in 2025.
