The Fighting Tree

Everyone deserves to be treated humanely and seen as human.

Simple and obvious as that sounds, when it comes to criminal justice there remains a lot of resistance to that notion. Most stems from uninformed misperceptions through transmitted mass media which we counter with many gently humanizing projects. However, some stems from informed malice and political expediency. Thus, there are times that call for more direct work, when the pen must be used as a sword in battle for second chances and equality.

Luckily, we have advocates fierce in their commitment to change. One founder’s outspokenness is even the root of his prison time, the other his partner. Having already faced that nightmare and come out better for it, even having written and passed major reform legislation already, we are dedicated to the good fight.
