Hey, all!
Today's an exception for this here project, because instead of making a $5 donation today, I made a larger one. But whatevz, I'm still counting it toward this.
The org is called the Police Reform Organizing Project (PROP), and it works to change the New York Police Department's "harsh and unjust" practices (I put that in quotes because I have some rather stronger words to use, but those are PROP's words, so there we are). The Project is just one branch of the Urban Justice Center, which has a whole bunch of projects that work toward creating a fair justice system in the city.
I volunteer with this project, and they're just getting started so they need a bunch of help...hence the larger donation. Here's some more info about PROP, and if you need any further proof of the NYPD's "harsh and unjust" practices, I encourage you to check out this episode of This American Life, or the Village Voice article that it's based on, or you could just open up the New York Times. I feel kind of passionately about this issue.
Click this to donate! It's easy!
