PROGRAMS & PROJECTS.

At Life After Release, we offer a variety of programs and projects designed to support and empower formerly incarcerated individuals. Our initiatives include educational workshops, job training programs, housing assistance, and legal aid services. We also engage in community outreach and advocacy to address systemic issues and promote policy reforms. Our dedicated team works collaboratively to provide comprehensive support and resources, helping individuals successfully reintegrate into society and lead fulfilling lives.

Community Outreach

Our Community Outreach pillar shows up for our community members, ensuring that they have the comprehensive and critical resources needed to live a fruitful life after release.

Community Organizing & Advocacy

At LAR, we are using community organizing and advocacy to diverge from the narratives that have been imposed on our communities and create new pathways for true justice in the DMV and beyond. To effectively advocate for our communities, we must first connect with them. Our organizing is a reflection of the deep commitment we have to advance and uphold community-centered solutions.

Courtwatch PG & Judicial Accountability

Courtwatch PG was created to combat the injustices that happen in empty courtrooms. This program holds prosecutors, judges, and the overall criminal legal system accountable to its purported purpose and reform goals. Our mission is to help make sure that every person who goes through this injustice system has a chance for all eyes to be watching to make sure the law is being followed.

Legal Empowerment & Participatory Defense

Our legal empowerment and participatory defense (PD) program fights alongside our community members who are behind bars to bring them home.
