greater conviction concerning issues of Injustice regarding the U.S.
Justice system.
Through this project Catalyst raised
over $250,000 in donations and strategically distributed FREE movie
tickets and showtime buyouts to more than 20,000 people. This project
served to speak to issues of racism, anti-recidivism,
mass-incarceration, and the death penalty. Through this project,

providing a platform for thoughtful conversations to motivate real steps
of action to help break the stronghold of injustice.
