About This Project
Summary
Empathy in Action holds a simple but radical belief: every person—regardless of guilt, innocence, or past action—deserves to be seen and treated with dignity, respect, and kindness. This 8-part Time Together series is a collaboration between the Transformative Justice Center’s Empathy in Action and Humans Being Media. It is an offshoot of a 35 minute documentary we filmed with the permission of CDCR inside CTF Soledad.
Goals & Objectives
The goal of both the film and its exclusive YouTube series was to drive donations, build awareness, and mobilize volunteers for nonprofit The Transformative Justice Center and its extraordinary program Empathy in Action. But above all, our purpose is to humanize people serving time.
Results & Impact
The fall program had a full roster of volunteers and we trust the impact will continue to ripple, but the best result of all was screening the film for the men on the inside and hearing what it meant to THEM to be seen and honored for the profound work they're doing to heal and grow.
