Founded in 2001, Freedom Project seeks to heal the trauma and dismantle the stigma that stem from mass incarceration. We do this work by fostering spaces where empathy happens, both inside and outside prison, centered in the leadership and experiences of the community we serve. We offer peer support and facilitate workshops based in the strategies of racial equity, anti-oppression, compassionate communication, and mindfulness. Freedom Project supports people who are currently and formerly incarcerated, and family and loved ones of people impacted by mass incarceration. Our community is disproportionately Black, Indigenous, and People of Color who are already experiencing economic insecurity, housing instability, and lack of access to healthcare due to historical and structural racism and oppression.
