We were established in 2020 to raise awareness about Covid 19 in our prisons. in that we began to expose other things.Like excessive use of force and lack of healthcare. We launched a two year project to put body cameras on corrections officers and I ma pleased to say that. As of May 1 of this year. All corrections officers will have them in Ohios prisons. We have several annual projects such as our fan project where we raise funds to distribute fans inside of Ohios prisons during the summer months. So far we have distributed 800 fans in 2 years. We also have our Christmas program where we provide Christmas for children with incarcerated parents. We have serves about 100 kids and 30 families in 2 years. Lastly we have our womens program POW Protect Our Women. That will help these women on their journey to freedmen and sobriety.
