Thank You for Supporting RestoreHER in 2024!

As we reflect on 2024, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your unwavering support. This year, RestoreHER US.America achieved incredible milestones in the fight for justice, equity, and dignity for women impacted by incarceration, domestic violence, and systemic inequities. Your partnership made these successes possible.

Highlights from Our Transformative Year

     1. Advancing Legislative Change:
We introduced the Women’s CARE Act in California, Alabama, and Georgia, successfully advancing through the Public Safety and Judiciary Committees. This crucial legislation moves us closer to ending the inhumane practice of prison births and ensuring equitable treatment for incarcerated pregnant women.

     2.  Hosting the First T.R.A.S.H. HERvalue Symposium and Retreat:We brought together women from across the country directly impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, and pregnancy behind bars. Through art, film, poetry, and spoken word, these women shared their stories, raising awareness of the challenges they have faced.

The symposium concluded with a healing retreat, where participants found community and fellowship, followed by a “Lunch n Learn” focused on advocacy. This event was a testament to resilience and the power of collective action.

     3. Supporting Senator Ossoff’s Investigation:
We worked alongside Senator Jon Ossoff, providing written testimony for his investigation into the abuse of pregnant women in prison, further amplifying the voices of those who have endured these injustices.

     4. Advancing Research on Maternal Healthcare Costs:
In partnership with Columbia University students, we led a groundbreaking project researching maternal healthcare costs, quality of care, and the total number of incarcerated women in the states where our legislation is active.

     5. Empowering Future Leaders:
We provided training for Spelman College’s Social Justice Program, supporting the next generation of advocates dedicated to social equity and systemic change.

     6. Expanding Our Team and Leadership:
We welcomed Kaila Pouncy as our Program/Policy Manager, strengthening our capacity to drive meaningful change. 
Our President, Pamela Winn, was appointed Commissioner for the Women’s Justice Commission and joined the HARP Advisory Council, further expanding our influence and advocacy.

     7. Celebrating International Women’s Day in Abu Dhabi:
In partnership with Forbes, we celebrated International Women’s Day in Abu Dhabi, elevating our mission on a global stage and advocating for women’s rights worldwide.

     8. Enhancing Civic Engagement and Voter Education in Georgia:IMPPACT (Informing Marginalize Peoples’ Power And Cultivating Transformation) engaged millions of Georgians through traditional and digital outreach through campaigns focused on voting rights for eligible justice-impacted people, including those eligible under the SB105 Probation Reform Act and organizing civic engagement events that reached and registered thousands of Georgians.​

​Looking Ahead…

As we move into 2025, we remain steadfast in our mission to dismantle inequities and build a world where women are treated with dignity, justice, and care.

Thank you for standing with us through every step of this journey. Your support has been the driving force behind these accomplishments, and we are excited to continue this work together.

​With gratitude and hope,
