Payment Details

The Appeal is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and all donations are tax deductible.

All transactions are secure and encrypted. Credit card information is never stored on our servers. Cancel anytime.

The Appeal is a nonprofit news organization that envisions a world in which systems of support and care, not punishment, create public safety.

Your donation supports journalism that:

  • Exposes the harms of the U.S. criminal legal system
  • Equips people with the information necessary to make change
  • Elevates solutions emerging from the communities most affected by policing, jails, and prisons

Our reporting has:

  • Spurred federal investigations into abusive and unsafe prison conditions
  • Bolstered efforts to change unjust laws and policies
  • Sparked grassroots activism
  • Influenced how news media covers criminal justice

Support our award-winning team because:

  • We are worker-led
  • We co-publish with more than a dozen local outlets
  • We work with 50-plus freelancers across the U.S., including 27 percent who are presently or formerly incarcerated
