CONNECT. LEARN. ACT

The Frederick Douglass Project for Justice seeks to change the public’s perception of the criminal justice system by becoming proximate with the humanity of incarcerated people.

CONNECT

Bringing people into prisons creates human connections, enables meaningful conversations, and changes the way we all think and act.

LEARN

The media and popular culture have perpetuated stereotypes about incarcerated people, thus promoting stigma and masking the very real and enduring challenges of prison.

ACT

Human interaction can be transformative.

“I saw nothing without seeing it, I heard nothing without hearing it, and felt nothing without feeling it.”

- Frederick Douglass
