Trustees & Fellows
In addition to a regular class of Trustees on our Board, we have established a “Fellows” class of trustees with the authority to protect the original mission of the organization as a faith-based, grassroots, social justice project. To be eligible to serve as a Fellow, the candidate must either a religious professional with a background in social justice or convicted of a state or federal felony and have made a successful transition to civil society.
