We 2 Matter is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering formerly incarcerated women to reenter society with dignity and purpose. Through transitional housing, mental health counseling, job training, legal services, and community partnerships, we provide the comprehensive support women need to heal, grow, and build productive lives. We believe that everyone deserves a second chance and that with the right resources, every woman can reach her fullest potential.
We envision a society where formerly incarcerated women are seen for their strengths and provided the tools, opportunities, and respect they need to thrive as valued members of their communities.
We 2 Matter stands out due to its visibility and partnerships. Our established relationships with other organizations, judges, probation officers, prison officials, and renowned celebrities enable us to advocate for and support formerly incarcerated women effectively. These connections make We 2 Matter a valuable force in the criminal justice reform and reentry movement.
Dr. Rita Ali, a passionate advocate for justice-impacted women, founded We 2 Matter after experiencing wrongful incarceration three times. With a rich background in business, media, and community service, Dr. Ali has built a network of supporters, including renowned celebrities, criminal justice reform leaders, and political figures, all united in the mission to help formerly incarcerated women rebuild their lives.
“When a woman is removed from her home, the impact reaches her children, her family, and her entire community. If we do not interrupt this cycle, it continues generation after generation. We have a responsibility to build solutions that break it.”
