MISSION AND VISION
End mass incarceration and mass criminalization of individuals impacted by the criminal justice system.
SAFE RETURN PROJECT MISSION
The Safe Return Project's (SRP) mission is to end mass incarceration and mass criminalization of black people and people of color and to re-enfranchise individuals and communities that have been disenfranchised as a result of criminalization, racial disparity, and poverty. SRP accomplishes these goals through community organizing, research, and policy advocacy. We invest deeply in the leadership development of those directly impacted by the criminal injustice system to create movements for mass liberation.
SAFE RETURN PROJECT VISION
Our vision as an organization is to empower and increase the visibility of all those who have been impacted by the criminal legal system as a whole. We are invested in building a base of power at the political, social, and economic levels of formerly incarcerated persons across the state of California, addressing the root causes of poverty and the impact that the criminal legal system has had on black people and communities of color. This kind of collective power will drive larger political strategies by the formerly incarcerated at the state and national levels and will increase mobilization to fight for the rights and opportunities for people coming home from incarceration.
