Change Campaigns

Mercy Corps’ LIFE program works with women who are incarcerated to equip them with business and life skills upon release from incarceration.

KGW featured the work in a multi-year Emmy-nominated series of segments that covered the program and its impact on women pre- and post-release.

A digital gallery was created to continue the momentum and educate the public about employment as a barrier post-release.
The ‘Run on Sentences’ digital gallery created a call to action for supporters to challenge and advocate for change.

The campaign was launched across email, social and web.
