Our work depends on your support

Voice of Witness is sending lifelines to more people in crisis than ever. We need your help to get two important projects off to a great start.


We need your support for our forthcoming book on the experiences of Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim and South Asian (AMEMSA) communities after 9/11. While the budget for the whole project is approximately $50,000, we only need $7,000 to begin sending interviewers into the field. Click the AMEMSA button to donate now and check our progress on the thermometer.


Help us make our book about women in the U.S. prison system, Women in Prison: Narratives of Incarcerated Lives, a reality. Click the WIP button to help us continue to send interview teams into prisons around the US.
