Decriminalize Poverty in Tennessee is the web project that emerged from a report on the criminalization of poverty in Tennessee by the Vera Institute of Justice and Free Hearts, a local organization led by formerly incarcerated women.
Zealous and Tubik translated it into an engaging, interactive storytelling experience featuring a digital archive of 500+ impacted voices and a campaign hub for the fight against criminalization. This narrative experience explores how poverty has been criminalized across Tennessee, tells what that means for people who live in communities in the state and offers practical steps that can help to build a better future.
