Overview

Mission

Until we are all free is a human rights organization led by formerly incarcerated criminal justice experts. We focus on building capital, resources and support to provide pathways to civic and economic liberation for individuals disenfranchised by mass incarceration.

What it reported doing in 2024

The 3l program, known as post-release, land, learn, and launch, is designed to support individuals reintegrating into society after release from incarceration. On the day of release, participants receive a welcome home kit, clothing/shoes funds, and funds for a reentry savings account. In the first 60 days, fellows are provided with a project stipend to collaboratively work on justice-related projects while identifying their long-term personal goals. During this period, fellows engage in individual and collective learning sessions tailored to their specific needs. The focus includes areas such as technology and internet skills, professional development, social and relational development, family reunification, balance and self-care, as well as community organizing and leadership. As fellows identify their skills and pathways, the uwaaf movement covers the costs associated with business startups, supplies, and general launch expenses aligned with the individuals goals. This comprehensive program aims to empower individuals to successfully navigate their reentry journey and pursue meaningful paths in society.
