coalition Structure
The Liberation Fund brings together Los Angeles community-based organizations who are experts in youth development, legal advocacy, and organizing to prioritize the unique experiences of girls and gender expansive youth, and create strategies that meet their needs, while simultaneously addressing the systemic failures and practices that harm them.
coalition mission
The Liberation Fund not only aims to transform the lives of those impacted by the justice system but also underscores the broader need for supporting women and girls, who are often overlooked. The proportion of girls in the youth justice system has increased over the last 20 years at every stage, from arrests to incarceration to probation supervision.
ending incarceration
The work of the Liberation Fund in Los Angeles County is laying the foundation to create a model for ending the incarceration of girls and gender-expansive youth across California, with the potential to be replicated nationwide.
building liberatory systems
Together, this coalition of over 10 BIPOC-led organizations in Los Angeles is challenging the status quo and reaffirming its commitment to gender equity and justice. By investing in organizations championing the rights of girls and gender-expansive youth, we are building a future where every young person can thrive.
