During our End of Year fundraising campaign, D.C.

Witness reach our year-end fundraising goal. We are hoping to raise $10,000 by Dec. 31. The tax-deductible donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar. Please consider helping support our work to bring transparency to our city's criminal justice system.
