Our approach to work is based on the traditions and teachings of the gender, racial, disability, and LGBTQIA+ justice movements.

Gender justice challenges patriarchy and the systems that have ignored, controlled, and devalued girls, women, and people with diverse gender identities.

For us, this means reclaiming our power and defining our own future.

Racial justice recognizes that the criminal justice system did not develop apart from this country's history of slavery and segregation.

For us, this means openly acknowledging these realities and questioning the policies and practices that perpetuate racial inequality.



Disability justice recognizes that disability cannot be separated from race, gender, poverty, sexuality, or incarceration.


For us, this means building a community where people with diverse bodies, minds, and needs can fully participate and exercise leadership. We are guided by the Ten Principles of Disability Justice articulated by Sins Invalid.

LGBTQIA+ justice challenges the rejection, violence, discrimination, and criminalization that queer people face for living openly and authentically.

For us, this means validating people in the fullness of their identities, respecting their names, pronouns, relationships, and chosen families, while challenging policies that penalize gender and sexual nonconformity.
