The Georgia State University Prison Education Project (GSUPEP) is an initiative of Georgia State University Perimeter College, providing college education to incarcerated individuals, aiding in reentry efforts, and promoting awareness of mass incarceration and criminal justice among our student body. 

As the only public institution in the state of Georgia offering for-credit education to underserved communities, GSUPEP embodies the university's mission. Despite historic achievements, including graduating the first two classes of incarcerated students in 30 years in the state of Georgia, the university has decided to defund this program. 

The university's decision to withdraw financial support threatens our program's continuation, undermining the university's commitment to educational access and equity.

We urge you to join us in advocating for GSUPEP's preservation. Please sign and share this petition. Together, we can safeguard educational opportunities for all!
