We will not fund nor accept funding for work that further entrenches or expands the scope of policing and the carceral state. We commit to operating from a movement building framework that values transparency and an open exchange of resources, tools, and strategies. We recognize that innovation and growth cannot happen without trying and failing. Understanding that organizations have different levels of resources and access, we will work to ensure that our individual/organizational decision making considers the whole ecosystem and addresses disparities and grows capacity. We recognize that the decisions we make may impact the entire ecosystem. We respond to our unique contexts and operate within them knowing that at any given time any decision/action by an individual or group within the movement can transform the entire ecosystem. We commit to developing ways to support each other’s work.

Our Mission

Our mission is to advance long-term strategies that radically reconstruct society away from policing and imprisonment and systems that reproduce cycles of harm, putting the safety and well-being of communities at risk and create models and approaches that foster a society built on compassion, accountability, and collective liberation.

Our Vision

We envision thriving communities free of imprisonment, policing, and surveillance where people have the economic and political power to redress past harms, advance the well-being of everyone, and reestablish their relationship to power outside of systems rooted in domination and punishment. The society we envision offers universal access to safety rooted in the fundamental belief that all people have the right to live dignified lives where their basic needs are met.
