Introduction

Projects

We envision communities where poverty is not criminalized, people most impacted lead solutions, and safety is built through dignity, care, and opportunity rather than punishment. Our mission is to advance policy that centers justice by reducing the criminalization of poverty, shrinking the reach of the punishment system, and investing in community-led solutions that address the root causes of harm.

We are a policy and advocacy organization. We do not provide direct services, legal representation, or emergency assistance. Instead, we work to change laws, systems, and public narratives so communities have the resources and support they need to thrive.
