| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Inside-Outside Organizing: Initiate Justice has an inside-outside strategy where we prioritize organizing people directly impacted by incarceration, inside and outside prison walls. Our inside organizing takes place in prison visiting rooms, in front of state prisons, and inside prisons themselves through workshops, mailings, and in-person or phone trainings. Our outside organizing occurs through membership meetings and member committees that meet monthly with participants from around CA. We keep our community informed on the latest changes to California laws and prison policies that will affect them; in 2020, we sent 116,938 newsletters to our 30,000+ incarcerated members. |
