Abolitionist Law Center

Mission

ALC is a public interest law firm and community organizing project that challenges the criminal punishment system in Pennsylvania.

We use litigation, community organizing, and strategic communications to end mass incarceration, empower impacted people, and protect individuals who encounter the criminal punishment system.

We challenge every point on the criminal punishment conveyor belt including policing, courts, jails and prisons, and various forms of legal supervision, as well as other aspects of the carceral machine.
