Volunteer

Webmaster

• Think this site can use an update?  Be more informative?  Interactive?  We need a knowledgeable site builder to volunteer some time and skills to keep this site as useful as possible.

Typist

• Do you enjoy the keyboard?  Much of the research and correspondence is originating from capable but restricted inmates.  Help is needed to transcribe handwritten documents to a typed format for online publishing and distribution.

Medical Professionals

• A big aim of G.A.V.E. is to make changes which allow healthy condemned inmates the opportunity to save lives.  States are switching to a one-drug lethal injection protocol which makes this feasible. But we need input from anesthesiologists, hospitals, and other experts to advise on technical procedures for proposals to prison directors.
  
  Examine our research and offer expertise.

Information Gathering

• Enjoy mining for information?  We are always in need of research assistance.
  

Lobby the Game Changers

• Informing those who can make a change is vital.
  • Write your local congressperson
    • Suggestions on communicating with legislators 
  • Contact prison directors

Recipients

Are You Currently In Need of an Organ?

• Willing inmates, gay men, and other healthy but banned donors are eager to make a difference now. But due to current unnecessary bans, traditional donor registries are not willing to list them. If you are in need of an organ and are willing to explore the option of healthy but banned donors, please let us know. E-mail [email protected] or register here.

Donors

Do you know of an healthy but banned person would like to be an organ donor?
