We stand with the #CommutationNow campaign in calling on @JoshShapiroPA to get the PA Board of Pardons back on track! Shapiro promised to support second chances, but far fewer people have been commuted under his admin compared to Gov. Wolf. Sign petition: commutationnow.com
Want to get to know us in person and help us send some love to YASP community members who are incarcerated this holiday season? Join us Thursday 12/12 at our office for a card writing party! 🩵
Whether you've been with us since the beginning or you've just learned about us recently, you may not know all of what we are up to here at YASP. Allow us to reintroduce ourselves!
