In line with PYP, part of our mission is to work towards a cultural shift in addressing crime, substance abuse, and mental health. We believe in people-centered, dignity-focused, & community-based approaches to counteract the systemically violent, inhumane, and discriminatory practices of the current criminal justice system. If you also care deeply about these issues, get active!

- Call your elected officials

- Organize your own reform campaigns

- Support legislation & encourage voter turn out

- Attend town halls and community forums

- Get involved with other advocacy groups like The Sentencing Project, the Vera Institute, and The Prison Policy Initiative.

We are always looking for businesses and organizations to host a fundraiser on behalf of both RAY and PYP! These can take the form of a raffle, a donation-based yoga class, an auction, a dinner, or any other ideas you might have!

If you’re interested in providing financial or material support towards something specific, let us know and we can discuss how this can be mutually beneficial for you and us!
