Resourcing Our Communities
In the Media
Our political work is rooted in community care.
Recognizing our struggles and resistance as part of a global feminist movement, we share and trade experiential wisdom. Born out of both knowledge and inquiries stemming from our experiences, we’ve created and compiled educational materials & resources- especially for other mamas with incarcerated kids, but useful for anyone!
