Organizing and Advocacy

Helping to build collective community power, and supporting leaders and communities seeking to deploy it to end mass incarceration, is at the heart of our work. Joining with and supporting directly impacted collaborators, we strategize collective-action projects, support a set of organizing and advocacy fellows, and build new tools in our organizing and advocacy workshop.

WORKSHOP

Building New Models of Advocacy

Structured as a clinic at Harvard Law School, our organizing and advocacy workshop is helping to develop new modes of community organizing and to marry them with new models of movement-oriented lawyering, with a particular focus on the role public defenders can play in supporting movements. Through this work, we are helping to grow the future tools to end mass incarceration and the future leaders and organizers who will put them to use.
