ABOUT US
We are a grassroots organization run entirely by volunteers. Grassroots organization is a bottom-up strategy that requires hard work from many people. Though we are starting small and most of us are current or former public defenders, in order to achieve our goal we will zealous advocates of all professions. Very soon, our our organization will include citizens from all walks of life. We welcome people whose lives or family member's lives have been affected by the criminal justice system. We welcome advocates for the poor. We welcome criminal justice reformers. If you are willing to help, we welcome you.
Grassroots Gideon is entirely non-partisan. In order to accomplish our goal, we will need to persuade Republicans and Democrats alike.
We will also need people from around the state, because an integral part of our strategy is to use our proximity to lawmakers to communicate our message.
