What is the impact of incarceration on women with incarcerated loved ones? Even though there are millions of women with loved ones behind bars, our personal and family experiences have never been gathered to answer this question. This is a major problem: how will we end mass incarceration if we do not truly understand the scope of its impact? The answer is simple: we will not.

This is why we are asking women to tell us–and the rest of the world–how incarceration has impacted our bodies, hearts, and minds. Through this campaign, we will end incarceration for ourselves, for our loved ones, for our communities, for good.

If you are a woman (a cis-woman, a trans-woman, or are genderqueer, genderfluid, or gender non-conforming) with an incarcerated or formerly incarcerated loved one, and would like to join the over 2,000 women from across the country who are changing the way we talk about, heart about, and fight against incarceration, you can take the survey here.

In May 2018, we will publish the first-ever report on the impact of incarceration on women with incarcerated loved ones. If you or your organization is interested in learning more about our survey, our forthcoming report, or partnering with us to help reach women, email [email protected].
