Causes Related to Physical Touch

These causes are important to me because they directly relate to people’s access to human touch.

Hospice

National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization is a 5-star Guidestar-rated organization that works to expand access to person-centered healthcare that provides comfort, peace, and dignity during life’s most intimate and vulnerable experiences.

Unlock the Box

Unlock the Box is a national advocacy campaign aimed at ending solitary confinement in all U.S. prisons, jails, detention facilities, and juvenile facilities, and bringing the United States into full compliance with the UN’s Mandela Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners within 10 years.

National Bail Out

The National Bail Out Collective coordinates the annual Mama’s Day Bail Outs, where they bail out as many Black Mamas and caregivers as they can so they can spend Mother’s Day with their families where they belong!

 

A portion of the 5000 Hugs project will be donated to these valuable non-profits.
