GALAXY GIVES

Galaxy Gives was founded in 2017 out of Mike and Sukey Novogratz's indignation about the injustice of New York City's cash bail system, where mostly poor Black and Brown communities were left to languish in jail for misdemeanors. Our founders believe that we arrive at justice and accountability by healing, both for the survivor and for the person who committed harm, rather than punishing both. Galaxy Gives was born out of the desire to tackle the unfair and brutal criminal legal system by ending mass incarceration. You can learn more about our story from one of our founders, Mike Novogratz... Galaxy Gives leads the Novogratz Family's cross-sector efforts to build a more just world. We support leaders and organizations building power, narratives, and solutions to dismantle systems of oppression, heal our communities,
