our values.

We believe in the power of collective action, that we are stronger together. This is the core belief that is the foundation of our belief that together, we are the change that is needed. 

We believe the lived experiences of people impacted by the criminal legal system  are powerful and are the key to impacting change in our own lives, our communities, the state and beyond. 

We believe that the intersections of our identities directly impact us and prioritizing marginalized communities is necessary for a system that is just and equitable. 

We believe that we must both disrupt and dismantle current systems of oppression and specifically mass incarceration, while simultaneously building communities that can and will support a world without prisons, this is both our eternal hope and driving force.
