The work of freeing people has never rested with courts and legislatures alone.
Each day brings more stories of the harsh human consequences of this Administration’s commitment to more enforcement, more surveillance, and more detention. But each day also brings more stories of people tapping into rich legacies of communities taking collective responsibility for one another.
We're lifting the tactics and technologies ordinary people have created to protect each other from incarceration in all its forms (jails, prisons, and detention centers). We hope that these stories spark your sense of what's possible and remind us that waiting for a bill or a court decision to save us is leaving too much freedom on the table.
An Everyday Guide to Freedom is about what you can do, starting today, inspired by the people who never stopped.
