Dear <<First Name>>,

Starting today, the full amount of your donation will automatically be matched by the Chris Wilson Foundation. Please don’t miss this opportunity to make your gift go even further.

At 17 years old, I was charged with a crime, convicted and sentenced to life in prison. I was lucky, though. I made it out. Now I have an opportunity to inspire others through the Chris Wilson Foundation and help drive change.

I believe in the power of The Marshall Project’s journalism and am proud of the work I do here as an advisor. In-depth, investigative reporting shines a bright light on the problems facing our police, courts, jails and prisons — making them impossible to ignore. That’s how change happens.

This Giving Tuesday, I’m incredibly grateful and excited to be able to support The Marshall Project. I hope you’ll join me in standing up for a fairer, more humane and more effective criminal justice system by becoming a member of The Marshall Project today.

For a limited time, the Chris Wilson Foundation is matching all new donations to The Marshall Project dollar for dollar, up to $70,000. Give now to have your donation doubled and to help The Marshall Project reach its goal of 200 new donations this Giving Tuesday.

With thanks,

Chris Wilson
Author and Executive Director of the
Chris Wilson Foundation and the Master Plan Program
