Joint Post-Election Community Service Event
November 20 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm PST
Local Focus: Eugene-Springfield area
Braver Angels: Southern Willamette Valley and Adopt an Inmate invite you to join us for a Post-Election Community Service Event! Everyone from across the political spectrum is encouraged to come and work side by side together to show that our humanity and shared community come before our political allegiance.
Adopt an Inmate (AI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit incorporated in Oregon.
AI accepts applications from people on the outside and matches them with people in prison with similar backgrounds and interests. People who adopt are willing to provide support and mentorship to a person in prison. Most of all, people who adopt understand that no one is defined solely by a past mistake. https://adoptaninmate.org/
Braver Angels (BA) is a national 501(c)3 nonprofit with local Alliances (chapters) across the US. Braver Angels is the nation’s largest cross-partisan, volunteer-led movement to bridge the partisan divide for the good of our democratic republic. Braverangels.org
Braver Angels: Southern Willamette Valley Alliance is the local BA organization operating mostly in Eugene and Springfield areas. https://swva.braverangels.org/
We will be opening, sorting and coding a large backlog of mail from inmates so they can be matched with a volunteer. Research shows that contact with someone outside prison before release leads to a higher rate of success on release. As you will be reading the letters, you will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.
