ACTION, TEACHING & INNOVATION
Our Work
We support communities working to bring about the end of mass incarceration—through anti-carceral lawyering, an impactful learning lab, and the innovation of bold new ideas.
Anti-Carceral Lawyering
Working directly with communities and campaigns, our legal advocacy tackles the roots of mass incarceration. From resisting the growth of carceral infrastructure, to protecting prison journalists and truth seekers, to seeding collective interventions that target plea bargaining, we make concrete steps forward against mass incarceration.
A Learning Lab
Through convenings, novel training programs, and an intensive clinical program, we are helping to grow new tools to help end mass incarceration – and training the future leaders who will put them to use.
Innovation and Ideas
Breaking down silos between diverse groups of thinkers and doers, we help to nurture and catalyze bold new ideas to end mass incarceration.
