Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Film & Video
Mission: Our mission is to turn protest into progress. A network of organizers, lawyers, legislators, and artists work together to improve the social reality of communities of color, to support and defend impoverished and divested households, and to uplift transformational institutions through strategic partnerships. Throughout our 6 years, we have been able to provide legal assistance to those in need and pass comprehensive legislative reform through our main initiative, The Liberty Project. We also put on a yearly film festival which illuminates issues involving marginalized people
Results: Just last year we were able to pass 6 bills through legislation. We are extremely proud of this but we continue to work towards more change.
Target demographics: disenfranchized people, minorities, low-income people, economically disadavantaged people, formerly incarcerated and incarcerated people
Direct beneficiaries per year: 1000 people through legal assistance
Geographic areas served: Chicago
Programs: The Liberty project, which operates legal seminars for up to 70 persons at a time, ensuring that minority residents of large cities understand their rights as it pertains to policing, courts, personal safety, legal representation, and incarceration. We have also work to write and promote bills being passed into legislation. We work with the people to find out their needs and help turn those needs into law.
