Right of Return
Together with Right of Return, we organized the Fundraiser for Freedom, where art became a vessel for justice. This initiative raised critical funds to support those who have been wrongfully convicted and to give voice to their stories.
Art Fellowship for Young Artist
In 2026, we are proud to join forces once again by sponsoring a Right of Return Fellowship for an artist between the ages of 18 and 24. Through this fellowship, I_am_HUMAN will ensure that young voices impacted by incarceration are not only heard but also supported with resources to create, heal, and advocate.
Our work with Life After Justice represents one of our most defining accomplishments. Together, we fought for the release of the Waverly Two: Terrence Richardson and Ferrone Claiborne, two men found not guilty yet sentenced to life. After years of advocacy at the highest levels of government, 2025 marked a victory as the Waverly Two were finally freed.
We also partnered on powerful art initiatives, including an auction with works by wrongfully convicted artist Valentino Dixon. All proceeds supported both the artists and Life After Justice’s ongoing fight for exonerees.
With The Ladies of Hope Ministries, we support formerly incarcerated women and children, contributing essential clothing and amplifying advocacy for justice reform. Working closely with Topeka Sam, we continue to highlight the unique challenges women face in incarceration and re-entry, keeping their voices central in the fight against wrongful convictions.
Through Women Over Dinner, we participated in events held inside prisons, sitting at the same tables as incarcerated women to listen, share, and support. These gatherings raised funds and provided resources for women preparing to return home. Alongside Topeka Sam and The LOHM, we built connections with advocates and allies who share our mission to restore dignity and freedom.
Our work with Village Freedge reflects the roots of I_am_HUMAN. We donated clothing, socks, and beanies to support their community-driven model of food distribution. Together, we brought not just material support but also the reminder that no one in our community should be left behind.
Through our collaboration with the Salvation Army Miami, we created a $70,000 program to help unhoused youth gain trade experience and secure safe jobs. Our volunteers also contributed countless hours at their facilities, collecting and donating more than 200 clothing items. These efforts were part of our foundation in direct community care, proving that small actions can spark a lifetime of change.
With The Cure Alliance, we donated nearly 100 pairs of socks to those in need. While simple, these contributions reflected our commitment to immediate support and compassion for vulnerable communities.
