Trying to make sense of the sorrow and frustration and anger I felt after watching "When They See Us" and learning more about the injustice that befell the Central Park Five.

Saw this org recommended across several racial justice nonprofit lists. Campaign Zero makes reports and recommendations on existing policing policies. They've gathered extensive policy research and resources for the mission of reducing the number of people killed by US police to zero. Plus, I like that they respond transparently to feedback (https://www.joincampaignzero.org/feedback), and seems to have a lean, capable team.

New York City is being overrun by coronavirus and we need to protect those on the front lines of this pandemic

The work the CDC is doing is critical to stopping the spread of coronavirus

I've been really impressed by GiveDirectly's pioneering and research-driven approach to using direct cash transfers to help people climb out of poverty. They've helped show that just giving money to people so they can make their own decisions about what they need is not only empowering but also one of the most potent forms of aid. Thank you, GiveDirectly!

Giving cash directly to people is often the most efficient way to help those in need

Nonpartisan champion of electoral reforms that give voters greater choice, a stronger voice, and a representative democracy.

It's time to level the playing field so all voters have a voice in American democracy. 

We believe our government should be of, by, and for the people. The way we vote limits our choices for leaders and fails to hold them accountable to the communities they represent. We need a way to elect candidates who represent the will of the people. The best ideas should decide who wins, not the biggest bank accounts or outdated electoral rules.

FairVote researches and advocates for solutions that give voters more voice and greater choice in their elections.

Works to exonerate innocent people through DNA testing and reform the criminal justice system to prevent injustice.

The Innocence Project was founded in 1992 by Barry C. Scheck and Peter J. Neufeld at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University to assist prisoners who could be proven innocent through DNA testing. More than 350 people in the United States have been exonerated by DNA testing, including 38 who pleaded guilty to crimes they did not commit and 20 who served time on death row. The Innocence Project provided direct representation or critical assistance in more than 200 exonerations.   The Innocence Project’s full-time staff attorneys and Cardozo clinic students provide direct representation or critical assistance in most of these cases. The Innocence Project’s groundbreaking use of DNA technology to free innocent people has provided irrefutable proof that wrongful convictions are not isolated or rare events but instead arise from systemic defects. Now an independent nonprofit organization closely affiliated with Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, the Innocence Project’s mission is nothing less than to free the staggering numbers of innocent people who remain incarcerated and to bring substantive reform to the system responsible for their unjust imprisonment.  With the generous support of individuals like you the Innocence Project has exonerated scores of innocent people and worked around the country to reform our criminal justice system.

Delivering unconditional cash directly to the world's poorest households via secure mobile transfers. 

Since 2009, GiveDirectly has delivered more than $580 million in unconditional cash transfers to families in need. These one-time cash transfers allow recipients to invest in what they need most and have been shown to improve their earnings, children’s school attendance, health, nutrition, and mental well-being.
 
GiveDirectly uses government data to target villages where most or all residents are living in extreme poverty, defined by the World Bank as earning under $2.15/day. In-country GiveDirectly staff enroll one member of each household in the entire village to receive a one-time transfer of about $1,000 USD sent in two installments using mobile money. Recipients can then withdraw the mobile funds as cash with local agents and use the funds to invest in what they need – whether it’s on starting a business, education, making their home safer/sturdier, healthcare, or livestock.
 
GiveDirectly uses rigorous experimental research (randomized controlled trials) to measure the impact of their unconditional cash programs and answer public policy questions, generating evidence on key design and implementation questions across varied contexts. You can find over 300 studies on the positive impacts of cash transfers in GiveDirectly’s Cash Research Explorer.
