You Are Not Forgotten

When constitutional rights are stripped away and silence feels permanent, we show up. Nothing Without You stands with the incarcerated — giving voice to those the system has tried to erase.

"When rights are stripped away, we show up."

Nothing Without You exists because no human being should face injustice alone. We advocate for incarcerated individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated, connecting them with community, resources, and the unshakeable truth that their lives matter.

"I had been in solitary for 14 months. No one knew. No one cared — or so I thought. Then a letter arrived. It said: 'We see you. You are not forgotten.' I read it every day. That letter kept me alive."
— Marcus T., incarcerated in a federal facility
