Our mission is to end Life Without Parole sentencing in California.
Our goal is to end the Life Without Parole sentence for all those currently serving this cruel sentence no matter the conviction, and to abolish the LWOP sentence altogether. We fight for these goals, working with people currently inside prison, through legislative advocacy, commutations, pardons, resentencing options, and building public awareness about the injustice of the LWOP sentence.
