For more than two and a half decades, FAMM’s mission has been to create a more fair and effective justice system that respects our American values of individual accountability and dignity while keeping our communities safe. And one of our most powerful tools in this work has always been stories. By sharing the impact of unjust sentencing and prison policies on incarcerated individuals, their families, and their communities, FAMM has helped create urgency around the issue. Our stories and videos make the problem feel real to policymakers who have to be moved to make meaningful change, as well as the general public.
