Vera is fighting to end mass incarceration.
Founded in 1961 to advocate for alternatives to money bail in New York City, Vera is now a national organization that partners with impacted communities and government leaders for change. With offices in four major cities, and a team of hundreds of advocates, researchers, and policy experts, we work to transform the criminal justice and immigration systems so that money doesn’t determine freedom, fewer people are incarcerated, and everyone behind bars is treated with dignity.
