Mission Statement
In a political moment where the safety, freedom and dignity of our communities are increasingly at risk, it is a necessity -- not a luxury -- that we ground our transformative work in the experiences of women, trans people of all genders, and people of color. Sister Warriors Action Fund is invested in building movement leadership spaces that sees the liberation of all of our people as deeply interwoven and inseparable from one another. We are committed to ending the violence of the criminal legal system, as well as undoing the harms of foster care, welfare, and other institutions that participate in criminalizing and controlling us. Our mission is to build a transformative movement that secures justice, opportunity, and self-determination for all.
Description
Sister Warriors Action Fund is led by systems-impacted and formerly or currently incarcerated women and trans people of all genders. Our work centers shifting power through organizing, advocacy, and policy and electoral work by uplifting the leadership of those who have experienced and continue to experience the devastating and intergenerational effects of incarceration, poverty, and gender-based violence. We improve conditions for women and trans people of all genders by fighting for - and winning - policies and systems change that center the needs and experiences of communities most impacted by systems of exploitation, criminalization, and incarceration throughout the state.
