#cut50 is a national bipartisan initiative to safely and smartly reduce our incarcerated population by 50 percent over the next 10 years. The Dream Corps brings people together to solve America’s toughest problems.
Without empathy, we cannot achieve meaningful policy changes in criminal justice reform that keep our communities safe, our families whole, and our economy strong. There are thousands of people who have stories to tell. By delivering a set of powerful, emotional experiences to lawmakers and fellow Americans.
We have teamed up with storytellers, media industry insiders, criminal justice reform advocates, and policy experts with direct access to leaders in the U.S. Congress, the criminal justice activists, and major news outlets.
We aim to: ● Build empathy in our governors, state legislators, and other policymakers to act on criminal justice reform; ● Humanize through personal interaction with impacted persons of the criminal justice system and show legislators that this is about the lives of the impacted people, their spouses, their children, their parents, and their friends, crime survivors, and their communities.
