Mission

 



Essie's mission is to harness the collective power of women with incarcerated loved ones to end mass incarceration's harm to women and communities.

Our Solution


To transform the criminal legal system women impacted by incarceration must organize. Our Healing to Advocacy Model brings women who are enduring a loved one’s incarceration alone into a loving and powerful membership body. From there, women lead: taking on campaigns, providing peer-to-peer support, participating in actions, and partnering with a national community of activists and advocates to build a more compassionate and just society.

 

From individual engagement, to group participation, to a network of women leaders, our model will bring together hundreds of thousands of women to break isolation, increase resources to families, and confront mass incarceration’s harm as a unified, loving, and powerful group.
