Additional Explanations

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

“Amistad law project's mission is to fight for the human rights of people in our community by providing free and low-cost legal services to philadelphians and those incarcerated in pennsylvania's prisons. Additionally, we advocate for laws and policies that reflect our vision for a new justice paradigm and organize events and activities to educate the public on their rights and the law.”

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“1)campaign to end death by incarceration: this program aims to find avenues for people sentenced to life without parole in pennsylvania to return to their communities. Through this program, we educated the public about the pa board of pardons, held public officials accountable for their role in life and long-term sentences, provided technical and supportive assistance to incarcerated people and the families in applying for clemency, and filed lawsuits on behalf of life-sentenced individuals to find a pathway home. 2)shifting the narrative around crime and policing: this program aims to shift the popular narrative around crime and violence in philadelphia and question the role of policing as a response to violence in our communities. Through this program, we created visual and audio media to educate the public on alternative responses to harm, helped shape concrete policy demands to the city of philadelphia in response to the murder of george floyd and the subsequent uprisings, conducted research of philadelphians' idea of public safety, and developed proposals for alternative responses.”
