This holiday season, we’re asking for your help to bring dignity and hope to incarcerated women who are often overlooked and forgotten. For many of these women, access to basic personal hygiene items like shampoo, conditioner, and toothpaste is a daily struggle—a small but vital part of self-care that many of us take for granted. Behind bars, where resources are scarce, personal hygiene becomes a luxury instead of a necessity. The impact of not having these basic items goes beyond physical well-being—it strips away a sense of dignity and humanity. That’s why this year, we’re committed to gifting 3,000 all-in-one shampoos, conditioners, and toothpaste to incarcerated women, reminding them that they are seen, valued, and not alone. Your support can help restore dignity and provide comfort during a season meant for love and giving. Let’s show these women they haven’t been forgotten.

In order to make change, you first have to create the atmosphere for it or be surrounded by those who inspire it. ? The Protected Class Network brings together and supports groups led by justice-impacted individuals, advocating for those with conviction and arrest records to be recognized as a protected class. This initiative aims to expand protections and promote justice, joining race, sex, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and other legally protected categories. PCN is about building a movement—starting with local legislation and aiming for broader change at the state and federal levels. Our journey is fueled by the lived truths and unwavering commitment of our community. Together, we are paving the path for a future where everyone is protected and empowered.
