This platform isn’t just for those who’ve survived the system it’s for those ready to dismantle it too.
If you’ve never been arrested, incarcerated, or criminalized, your role is still critical. Here’s how you can stand in true solidarity:
🔁 Share These Stories
Use your platform big or small to amplify the voices you see here. Post articles, quote survivors, and spark real conversations. Awareness isn’t the goal…action is.
🧾 Donate to Grassroots Organizations

🛠️ Volunteer Your Skills
Whether you’re a therapist, resume writer, lawyer, or social media manager—there’s a place for your skills in this fight. DM me or head to the Contact Page to connect.
🎯 Challenge the System in Your Circles
Speak up when coworkers make criminalizing jokes. Push for fair hiring practices. Vote local. Challenge policies at work or school that harm people with records.
This isn’t charity. It’s solidarity.
And solidarity means showing up even when it’s uncomfortable.
