The Abolitionist Law Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, movement law firm and community organizing project led by those who’ve been directly impacted by the criminal punishment system and other forms of state violence, including currently and formerly incarcerated people and their loved ones. We wield class action and impact litigation on behalf of people whose human rights have been violated by jails, prisons, policing, and other carceral institutions. We engage in grassroots advocacy, base building, research and public education, pressure campaigns, media outreach, and other strategic communications. And we challenge U.S.-based corporate and governmental entities that perpetrate and support carceral violence and war.
