Our vision as an organization is to empower and increase the visibility of all those who have been impacted by the criminal legal system as a whole. We are invested in building a base of power at the political, social, and economic levels of formerly incarcerated persons across the state of California, addressing the root causes of poverty and the impact that the criminal legal system has had on black people and communities of color. This kind of collective power will drive larger political strategies by the formerly incarcerated at the state and national levels and will increase mobilization to fight for the rights and opportunity for people coming home from incarceration.
