Advocacy
Although we do not participate in any lobbying activities or endorse candidates for public office, we do conduct grassroots organizing, advocacy (ending mass incarceration, abolishing oppressive carceral systems and procedures, jail/prison conditions and communications, family reunification, restoration of rights, economic justice and decriminalization) and civic engagement activities to educate and ignite our clients and the community on issues of public concern, particularly those that impact justice involved individuals and our families.
Therefore, we support local, state and national efforts as well as organizations that support grassroots organizing, advocacy and civic engagement efforts that identify and address issues of public concern and end oppressive systems that exploit and/or exclude individuals impacted by a criminal conviction which includes but is not limited to ending employment discrimination of people with criminal records (which contributes greatly to Georgia's high recidivism, unemployment, poverty and homelessness rates), advocating for fair chance hiring, housing and education opportunities for justice involved people, ending probation and parole and cash bail, advocating for common sense and rational sex offense laws and policies that protect society but also do not subject those forced to register as sex off***ers to public shaming, being dehumanized, discriminated against or have their constitutional rights violated, equity for formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs (who were often denied the PPP loans and are often denied bank and other business loans), ending slavery (prison slave labor that's exploited by way of the 13th amendment) and ending felony disenfranchisement to restore the vote to Georgians on probation and parole who are excluded from their rights as citizens according to the 14th amendment.
