Systemic challenge: The mass incarceration rate is increasing in the US, with an especially severe situation for the LGBTQ+ inmates, while many people are still unaware of it.

Stakeholders (current problems):

  • Audience: Lehigh students and faculty, people in the Bethlehem community
    • Some are not aware of the current social justice system or the mass incarceration rate.
    • Some are interested in making a change but they have no idea about related resources or organizations.
    • Lack of education – stereotypes and discrimination still exist
  • Our Partners
    • Limited members with similar interest
    • Need a larger social network
    • Not powerful enough for the government to change the policy
  • Inmates, especially LGBTQ+ people
    • Lack of understanding
    • Lack of education about the current social justice system and their own situation
    • Can’t gather people with the same goal
    • Low rehabilitation rate
    • Face discrimination or stereotypes
