RootsAction Education Fund

RootsAction Education Fund works to educate the public about economic fairness, equal rights, civil liberties, environmental protection -- and the possibilities of converting from a war economy and a war-based foreign policy to an economy and foreign policy based on social justice, human rights, and nonviolent resolution of conflicts.

How we can help a finally freed innocent prisoner.

Lacino Hamilton imageOne of the proudest achievements ever in the history of the RootsAction network is that our activism helped free an innocent man, LACINO HAMILTON, from the Michigan prison system after 26 years behind bars.

Through all those years in prison, many of them in solitary, Lacino never gave up or gave in.

After he was freed, with your support, we helped amplify his unique voice to educate the public about the evils of mass incarceration.
