Become an Inside Member

Inside Members receive a quarterly newsletter from Initiate Justice that has the latest news about changes to law and CDCR policy that affect our members. The newsletters also contain updates and calls to action for Initiate Justice campaigns, guides and resources, and surveys for members to share their opinions and priorities. Members can also correspond and send questions about IJ’s work to our Inside Membership team.
