Text-to-Give
It is easy to give either to the UUPMI General Fund, Solidarity Circles/Re-Entry Fund (supports congregations working with the newly released to integrate back into the free world), or the Commissary Fund (gives those inside prison some money to spend on necessities).
Just send a text to 844-907-1845 with the amount you wish to contribute and the code for where you would like it to go (e.g. Give 50 General, Give 50 Circles, or 50 Commissary).
The first time you send this text, you will receive a text shortly with a link to register. Click on the link and complete the instructions. Once the set-up procedure is complete, you will receive a text verification and a receipt of your donation via email. Any donations thereafter using this telephone number will be automatic.
Once you have completed this process successfully, you can save the number in your Contacts as UUPMI Donation, making the process even easier next time.
We hope you enjoy this new method of supporting UUPMI and we thank you for your generosity.

ILLINOIS DOES NOT HAVE A PAROLE SYSTEM
Join us to LUNCH & LEARN :: Stateville Calling (Movie & Discussion with people directly impacted by this system)
Is Rehabilitation a Right?
Stateville Calling is a documentary exploring parole reform and the struggle of aging inmates in Illinois. At the center of the film is Bill Ryan, an 84-year-old prisoner’s rights activist from rural Kentucky who has spent the last several decades befriending and advocating on behalf of a group of men and women incarcerated for life, helping to abolish the death penalty in Illinois, publishing a newspaper written by prisoners, and ceaselessly negotiating with victim's advocates, legislators and lobbyists from both sides of the aisle.
In 1974 A life sentence equaled 20 years in prison and everyone became eligible for parole at some point. By 2018 parole had long been abolished, sentencing increased time and time again, such that in IL 1 out of ever 7 people currently in prison will die there if nothing is done. Stop the madness Bring sensible and human parole system to IL
Parole IL, a coalition of people inside and outside of prison who are working toward a more just and humane legal system. UUPMI will equip UU's in IL to transform institutions and support people harmed by the prison industrial complex.

Families in Touch – Help family members visit girls in a youth prison. This program helps ensure that young women incarcerated at the Illinois Youth Center in Warrenville get regular visits from family members. The program recruits and trains volunteer drivers who help keep families in touch and in doing so help support communities impacted by incarceration. Training can be scheduled for group training on a mutually agreeable date. Contact Maggie Mui, chicagofamiliesintouch@gmail.com.
