2026 Carceral Systems Organizing Grant

Applications due Jun 20, 2027

The 2026 Carceral Systems Organizing Grant seeks to support organizations working to eradicate carceral systems, create alternative justice solutions, or pursue system reform by addressing systemic criminalization that disproportionately targets Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) and low-income/poor communities across our five-state region.

We define carceral systems organizing broadly to include all systems that criminalize people’s lives based on race, poverty, gender, immigration status and/or disability. Examples include but are not limited to: 

  • Abolition, transformative justice, and alternatives to incarceration
  • Ending racial profiling and police brutality
  • 'Addressing racial inequities in drug laws
  • Child welfare, foster care, child protective services
  • Youth incarceration and the school-to-prison pipeline
  • Detention and deportation of immigrant communities
  • Homeless encampment sweeps and criminalization of survival needs
  • Re-entry organizing by and for folks who were recently incarcerated
