Incarcerated population raises over $6,000 for indigenousjustice.org

On July 11, 2023, Sierra Conservation Center (SCC) in Jamestown, California, through the Community Resource Manager’s (CRM) office, distributed pizza and pies to incarcerated persons during a quarterly food sale. All proceeds from the food sale were donated/presented on September 13, 2023, at the Citizen’s Advisory Committee meeting held at City Hall in Sonora, California to highlight the positive fund raising efforts of the incarcerated population. The proceeds were donated to the non-profit Indigenous Justice organization located in Sacramento, California. Indigenous Justice has several initiatives; however, the funds raised are specific to the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Peoples (MMIP) initiative. These funds will help support family members & indigenous communities with prayer vigils, events, policy and advocacy efforts.
