I wanted to tell y'all about the good work being done at Vanderbilt because of the Vanderbilt Prison Project—a student organization that educates and inspires other students to engage in the criminal justice system.
Join us today outside of Saratt for our letter writing campaign for Don & Shawnda! Please follow social distancing guidelines and wear a mask.
