confronting unjust systems. We envision a world where equity, healing, and reconciliation replace systems of punishment and oppression.

Impacted Leaders
We work to empower people who are directly impacted by the criminal punishment system by placing them in positions of leadership and providing the training and resources they need to grow as organizers and activists.
