Know Your Rights & Community Orientation — February 25
We’ve received an overwhelming number of messages from community members asking how to get involved and get organized. In response, we’re hosting a Know Your Rights and Community Orientation on Tuesday, February 25th from 6:00–8:00 PM.
This gathering is open to everyone—from experienced organizers to people who are just beginning to step into this work. We’ll cover Know Your Rights basics, share how our community is organizing in response to current conditions, and outline concrete ways to plug in and take action together.
Please RSVP using the link below. We’ll follow up with the location and additional details as the date approaches.
To radically transform the criminal legal system through intersectional advocacy that fosters safe and healthy communities.
Our Vision
Liberated communities of color.
Our Values
Our work is community and people-centered. We work in and with the people most impacted by racism and the criminal legal system and who are experts in their lived-experiences. Together research current resource landscapes of our neighborhoods and identify institutional assets and the lack thereof, with the intention of outlining specific needs and solutions. Based on our research, we implement strategic action plans that demand accountability from individuals, institutions and public policy.
Accountability – We believe that accountability is a key component to progress as is earning trust and credibility in our communities. By demanding that individuals in positions of power and institutions are held accountable, we can move towards radical transformation and away from violent patterns and practices that negatively impact marginalized communities.
Transformation – Transformation occurs when members of marginalized communities can begin to trust and heal from the traumas of injustice. It is then that we can value ourselves as powerful individuals who matter and therefore become active participants in the advocacy for systemic change and safe and healthy communities.
Liberation – Liberation of communities of color is the result of strategic actions, accountability, radical transformation and community empowerment. It is a cornerstone of justice and is essential to our mission of fostering safe and healthy communities.
