We envision a world full of life-affirming economies and institutions, where our needs are mutually fulfilled and we’re nourished and held in a community of love.

Guided by the lived experiences of formerly-incarcerated folx, we work to extricate our people from dehumanizing cages and to resource a network of healing, legal and mutual aid as we organize to build alternative futures for ourselves and our communities. Our ultimate mission is to create transformative systemic change through the creation of a Black-led abolition foundation and network as we organize to end discriminatory, coercive, and oppressive jailing.

We see our mission as one piece of a liberation strategy, which requires us to work cooperatively with other organizations, movements, and communities to achieve our vision of a life-affirming future.
