We challenge and change laws, policies, systems, and practices that harm the most vulnerable in our society and keep us from full liberation. We work with movement partners and community members to:
Protect and expand voting rights
End the carceral system and its abuses of Black, Brown and poor people
Reduce barriers to re-entry and increase resources for formerly incarcerated people and their families
Ensure equal access to basic human rights like healthcare, jobs with living wages, and clean water
Reimage public safety and the role of police in our communities
We are organizers, lawyers, creatives, strategists and directly impacted people dedicated to ensuring that the ‘we’ in We the People is truly inclusive and representative of ALL Americans.
We challenge unjust and discriminatory laws, policies, and practices in court, and advocate for those that uplift ALL people
We connect community members, activists and advocates; and help provide resources they need to mobilize and stand against laws, policies and practices in their communities that marginalize and oppress.
Through the intentional use of language and storytelling, we center the voices, stories and experiences of those directly impacted by systems of oppression to shape and influence narratives to build collective power and create lasting change.
