With an unprecedented 2.4 million people living behind bars in the United States - 90% of whom are men - millions of women with incarcerated loved ones are left behind. In fact 1 in 4 women and nearly 1 in 2 African-American women has a family member in prison. Women face stigma and isolation, and are regularly left to care for kids and finances alone.
Our mission is to expose and end the harm that incarceration has had on the lives of women and families. We are doing this by fostering connections between women, conducting advocacy, and driving research.
We are Essie Justice Group, and we know that sisterhood is powerful. Join our movement today!
