“Grappling with the system as a mother—not just to our incarcerated son, but also to young children at home—showed me how isolating, overwhelming, and unjust the experience can be for families like mine. I want to leverage my experiences and knowledge to help others who are going through the same challenges, and ultimately, be a part of greater and lasting change.”
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.
