Fundraiser

Celebrating 10 Years Together

We are grateful to everyone who helped ARC grow into what it is today.

ARC began in the basement of Liz’s townhouse ten years ago, and so it is fitting that we will celebrate our tenth anniversary in her backyard in Baltimore. All are invited to share a meal, celebrate what we have accomplished together in the past decade, and look ahead to the next.

Your support has helped us build the field of mitigation and change the lives of people across the country who have been accused of crimes. And your continuing support will help us create a more just world for years to come.

Attendance is free, but we hope you’ll consider a donation to help us continue our advance empathy, dignity, and equity within and beyond the criminal legal system. You can make a donation here
