Join us for the 8th Annual Beyond the Bars Conference: Closing Jails and Prisons. Beyond the Bars brings together a trans-disciplinary group to advance the work of ending mass incarceration and mass criminalization and building a just and safe society.  This year we aim to contribute to the growing movement to close jails and prisons as a part of the larger struggle for decarceration. In particular, we will focus on elevating the efforts led by grassroots organizers that include people who are formerly incarcerated and directly impacted.

Join us as we work to deepen our collective analysis and advance  strategies for a just, equitable and safe society. We are happy to have Patrisse Khan Cullors joining us for our Friday evening event, Building the Movement!
