The Abolitionist Law Center is a public interest law firm and community organizing project organized for the purpose of abolishing class and race based mass incarceration in the United States. ALC engages in class action litigation on behalf of people whose human rights have been violated in jail and prison, produces educational programs to inform the general public about the harms of policing and mass incarceration, and works to develop a mass movement against the injustices of the American penal system by building alliances and nurturing solidarity across social divisions.
