What our community says

  • Topeka K. Sam, Founder and Executive Director

    Collective action is needed to secure dignity, respect, and forgiveness. Curing the ills that plague law enforcement and getting past our national obsession with punishment requires that we make a collective, widespread recommitment to the virtues of dignity, respect, and forgiveness. How do we this? Together, one step at a time, as neighbors and citizens. We must keep in mind that all of us, not only the most privileged, deserve dignity, respect, and forgiveness.
  • Ebony Young, Chief Operating Officer

    Gender Responsive Solutions. Let's start by meeting incarcerated women where they are right now, with gender responsive solutions that acknowledge their full humanity, their essential value, and their tremendous importance to our nation's health.

     
  • RIchar Yao, Chief Financial Officer

    Economically Vulnerable Population. Women generally have lower incomes than men, making them disproportionately affected by punitive bail policies. In most families, they are the primary caregivers of children and elders, so their situation disproportionately affects their loved ones, too. 

    What's worse, their financial burden continues after their release from prison due to the steep fees they must pay for probation. During this critical time, when women are just re-entering society, finding work, in the worst possible financial position and barely able to afford basic essentials, they are at greater risk of reincarceration due to their inability to pay those fees. 
  • Amber Knee, Director of Sustainability

    Homes and safe spaces for healing needed. There are very few safe and supportive post-release programs for women, which means that women are more likely than their male counterparts to be homeless after leaving prison. These women re-enter society traumatized, disenfranchised, and at risk of deepening the spiral of pain and shame for themselves, their families, and their communities.
