Fighting Recidivism Through Digital Media Education: Video Editing Curriculum

Sammy Chavez and Alex Pham in partnership with The Gateways Project

The Gateways Project is a network of projects led by Everett Program students. It focuses on California’s incarcerated population in jails, providing them access to technology, and raising awareness regarding their experiences. This organization was established in 2019 and has been active in the Santa Cruz and incarcerated communities since. California is home to various ethnicities and cultural backgrounds, often giving off an impression of a diverse and progressive climate. However, when intertwined with existing oppressive systems and institutions, communities of color and immigrants often face various obstacles and injustices. 

Total Funding: $1,165, with support from CITRIS
