Our Project was launched in 2019 to bolster the growing movement to end mass incarceration and abolish the criminal legal system as we know it. Our vision is to build a bigger movement and to help change the political conditions necessary to make community liberation possible for BIPOC. We are working toward this by focusing on the grassroots organizing capacity of directly-impacted people and their loved ones, including people who are formerly incarcerated, have a felony conviction, have a sentence of probation or parole or whose lives have been directly affected by the criminal legal system in other ways. Our programs of support include skills training, coaching, political education, organizing & electoral strategy and a fellowship program for new and emerging directly-impacted organizers.
