My Project
When students have access to information, resources and materials, including books, they become equipped with the tools needed to change the world. The mission is to ensure that students are identifying the Birth-to-Prison pipeline, learning its historical and modern day harms while creating solutions that help to transform the way we view the criminal and juvenile justice systems.
Students will receive a copy of the book, Just Mercy; a story that speaks to ones heart and mind, empowering all to STAND against systemic and social harms and stand up for each and every human.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
This project will reach 999 students.
