5 Directions Guide
February 19, 2024
Something else is possible.
Our work is driven by four guiding principles:
Crime survivors should be at the center of any conversation about violence. When survivors are at the center, they are pragmatic and clear—and what they ask for is not always what people might expect.
Accountability isn’t just moral. It’s practical. Meaningful accountability can reduce violence in ways punishment cannot.
Communities deserve safety. When prisons fail to deliver on their promise to keep everyone safe, it is time to develop solutions that will succeed.
Racial inequity drives violence. That means that any strategy to advance safety must advance equity as well.
