2nd Annual LWOP Walk For Life Walkathon
Help us meet our goal

When hope meets action, miracles happen even in the most unexpected places.

Imagine a group of individuals serving life sentences without parole. To many, their pasts overshadow them, but within prison walls, they are determined to create change and healing that reach far beyond their confines.

On October 24, 2025, these incarcerated individuals will take part in a transformative Walk-a-Thon, dedicating every step and each dollar raised to Shriners Children’s Northern California a hospital renowned for giving children facing complex medical challenges a new chance at life. This is so much more than rehabilitation; it is a profound act of “living amends,” where redemption sparks positive ripples for children in need.

This powerful movement began with the first annual Walk-a-Thon on October 16, 2024. Incarcerated residents joined forces in a groundbreaking initiative, raising significant funds and demonstrating that hope doesn’t stop at the prison gate. The success of this inaugural event exceeded all expectations, inspiring new collaborations and setting the stage for an even greater impact in 2025.

The effort extends far beyond prison walls. On the same day, supporters, advocates, and community members will gather for a companion Walk-a-Thon at the California State Capitol. There, Californians of all backgrounds can walk in solidarity with incarcerated participants, amplifying the mission and publicly celebrating the giving spirit that sustains Shriners.

Why does this matter for Shriners? More than 70% of the hospital’s funding relies on philanthropy. Donations provide world-class care whether in orthopedics, burns, reconstructive surgery, or rehabilitation to every child, regardless of their ability to pay. Nearly 80% of all contributions go directly to patient care, research, and education, making new treatments and a brighter future possible for thousands each year.

These Walk-a-Thons, organized with restorative justice partners and community leaders, prove that compassion knows no boundaries. When you join or support this event, inside or outside, you help ensure life-changing treatment for children and hope for families.

Your gift, sent securely via PayPal, goes straight to Shriners Children’s Northern California. Together, we can offer hope, healing, and a future full of miracles to children and families in need.

Economic justice is racial justice. Financial literacy is survival. For communities impacted by incarceration, exclusion, and discriminatory banking, mastering money management, credit, and wealth building resists systems that keep poverty in place.

Community-Led Crime Reduction
Real crime prevention invests in communities, not policing. It tackles root causes—not symptoms—through community-led solutions that reduce harm and build collective power.

ASAP Justice Network’s comprehensive crime prevention efforts include:

Ceasefire campaigns: Community-led violence interruption and mediation

Gang truces: Facilitating peace agreements between rival groups

Legal advocacy: Providing defense support for community members

Paralegal training: Empowering community members as legal advocates

Restorative justice circles: Healing-centered responses to harm

Youth leadership: Engaging youth to prevent justice system involvement

Community-centered approach:

Rather than relying on punitive policing and surveillance, we build local capacity to resolve conflicts, address material needs, and create economic and civic opportunities.

Funding impact:

$500 funds conflict mediation training for peacekeepers

$2,000 covers legal consultation for families facing charges

$5,000 supports ceasefire efforts in high-violence areas

$10,000 trains 15 community paralegals

Our paralegal training has graduated 47 community members who provide legal support—helping families navigate courts, understand rights, and avoid incarceration.

Community voices:

"The gang truce saved lives—former rivals now collaborate on community projects." — Maria, violence interrupter

"Using paralegal skills, I aided 12 families last year, preventing jail for 8." — David, community paralegal

True crime prevention requires:

Addressing poverty, unemployment, and lack of opportunities

Providing conflict resolution and community mediation skills

Creating alternatives to police involvement

Building networks of mutual aid and collective support

Investing in community healing—not punishment

Your support enables solutions that prevent crime by tackling trauma, disinvestment, and systemic barriers at their roots.

Community Nutrition & Food Security
Food insecurity affects 1 in 8 Americans, but the rate jumps to 1 in 3 for formerly incarcerated individuals and their families. When you’re worried about your next meal, it’s impossible to focus on rebuilding your life, supporting your family, or advocating for justice.

ASAP Justice Network recognizes that food security is justice. Our comprehensive food program combines emergency assistance with long-term solutions, community education with policy advocacy.

Our food justice initiatives:

- Emergency food assistance - Immediate relief for families in crisis

- Community food banks - Partnering with local organizations for ongoing support

- Food drives - Community-organized collection and distribution

- Nutrition education - Teaching healthy, budget-conscious meal planning

- Community kitchens - Spaces for shared meals and cooking education

- Urban farming - Growing fresh produce in food desert communities

Real stories of impact:

Carmen’s husband was released after 8 years, but finding employment took months. Our food assistance program provided groceries while they rebuilt stability. Today, Carmen volunteers at our

community food bank, paying forward the support they received.

$25 provides one week of groceries for a family of four

$100 funds month-long food assistance during employment search

$500 supports community kitchen operations for one month

$1,000 establishes small urban garden producing year-round fresh vegetables

The connection between food security and justice is clear:

- Proper nutrition improves job interview performance and employment retention

- Family food stability reduces children’s involvement in risky behaviors

- Community food programs build networks of mutual support

- Food justice addresses root causes of economic inequality

Every meal provided is an investment in someone’s comeback story. Every community garden planted is a seed of long-term food sovereignty. Every cooking class taught is a tool for lifelong health and financial wellness.

Food is medicine. Food is dignity. Food is justice. Help us nourish our community’s fight for equity.

Transportation Fund for Systemic Change
Movement creates momentum for justice. ASAP Justice Network’s Travel Support Campaign ensures our advocates, formerly incarcerated individuals, families, and community leaders can travel to where

change happens - from legislative hearings in Sacramento to community meetings across California, from court appearances supporting our clients to conferences where our voices reshape policy.

Our founder Jamilia Land has testified before state committees, spoken at national conferences, and attended hearings that resulted in landmark legislation like SB1437 (freeing hundreds from unjust sen‐

tences) and SB1421 (opening police records). But every mile traveled required resources our community doesn’t always have.

Your donation funds:

- Legislative advocacy travel - Gas, flights, and accommodations for policy meetings

- Community organizing transportation - Helping formerly incarcerated advocates reach

underserved communities

- Court support travel - Transportation for families navigating the justice system

- Conference and education travel - Sending community leaders to learn from and teach others

- Emergency travel assistance - Supporting families during crisis situations

Impact Stories:

When SB1437 passed, Maria’s son was finally eligible for release after 15 years. But the parole hearing was 300 miles away, and the family had no transportation. Our travel fund got them there - and brought their son home.

$25 provides gas for local community outreach

$100 covers round-trip travel to Sacramento for legislative advocacy

$500 funds flight and accommodation for national conference representation

$1,000 supports month-long travel for comprehensive community organizing

Every journey starts with a single step. Every systemic change starts with someone willing to travel toward justice. Help us get there.
