“As a justice -impacted individual , I have real life experience and knowledge of the challenges that justice impacted families and communities encounter […] I want to echo their voices and advocate on their behalf by representing them.”
People closest to the problem are closest to the solution. We train and uplift leaders directly impacted by incarceration to lead the charge—from policy tables to the ballot box.
Your gift helps us pass transformative legislation and support people impacted by incarceration. We’ve already helped secure major wins across California—and we’re not done.
We mobilize thousands of people to take action, vote, and hold systems and elected leaders accountable. Your donation helps grow a statewide movement rooted in justice and liberation.
Our mission is to end incarceration by activating the power of the people it directly impacts.
