Our areas of focus are court transparency, decarceration and diversion, economic accessibility, and community autonomy. All of our research, advocacy, and community education initiatives fall into one or more of these areas.
Our decarceration and diversion projects focus on shrinking the reach and impact of the criminal legal system and proposing alternatives to criminalization and incarceration.
Our economic accessibility projects focus on interrupting the cycle of poverty that the courts create and perpetuate by extracting wealth from communities and criminalizing poverty.
Our court transparency projects focus on improving access to information about the court system so that the public can effectively engage with and hold the legal system accountable.
Our community autonomy projects focus on equipping community members with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate and meaningfully engage with the legal system and access their rights as constituents.
