As community organizers with Liberate! Don’t Incarcerate, we are committed to…
Centering the experiences and leadership of the most marginalized people, including those who are Black, Brown, Indigenous, trans and queer, women and femmes, currently and formerly incarcerated, immigrant, disabled, working class, young and poor.
Lifting up mutual aid responses, centering love and care & building community.
Continuing our work in the movements of racial justice and transformative justice.
Further deepening our relationships with community members who are formerly incarcerated, currently incarcerated, and detained in immigration detention centers, as well as community organizers of color locally and nationally.
Building on the work of Black queer feminist theorists and organizers.
Utilizing an intersectional lens and fighting against all forms of oppression, including but not limited to white supremacy, imperialism, colonialism, patriarchy and capitalism.
Creating an honest, caring and authentic space for dialogue and collaboration, that embraces unlearning and discomfort, while celebrating victories and community.
Abolition, meaning we are building towards creating the necessary conditions for a world without prisons, policing, surveillance and punishment where true community accountability exists.
