DONATE TO & SHARE SITAwa's GOFUNDME

 

Sitawa Jamaa is a beloved elder who has served 43 years in prison for a crime that someone else confessed to committing. Despite the injustice of his imprisonment, Sitawa has devoted the past 43 years of his life to creating a safer, more humane prison system in California. These decades have seen a fight against solitary confinement, an interracial commitment to ending prison violence, and the creation of rehabilitative opportunities that were once unimaginable. Each of these advancements towards safety and justice is stamped with the name Sitawa Nantambu Jamaa.

 

Now, after four decades of activism, Sitawa is finally coming home. Due to a severe stroke in 2019, Sitawa requires 24/7 nursing care to survive. However, many of his medical needs will not be covered by Medi-Cal. Please help his family care for him with the dignity that he deserves. Your donations will ensure that his needs are met and his family is not burdened with expenses, especially as his care needs increase over time (e.g., skilled nursing facilities cost approximately $10,000/month). If you are not able to donate, please share this page (bit.ly/sitawa-jamaa) so others can learn about the incredible person that Sitawa is. Thank you so much for your support.
