We offer alternative sentencing options (including community service) and diversion programs so people can avoid the trauma of incarceration and instead help the community thrive (approximately 100 youth and 1,000 adults a year) during their incarceration (pre-release) and returning from incarceration (post-release) and their families (approximately 300 children and families per year). OAR is a collective, non-dominant, decolonizing, pro-Black, racially and ethnically just, radically joyful, deeply loving, come-as-you-are, and liberated organization that puts participants first.

The firm also follows legislation and bills and then sends us updates. If there is a specific legislative item that all nine of us agree on, we ask them to connect and advocate for or against the legislation. In addition, we have another partnership with a firm in Richmond that helps us understand the legislative process and follows specific legislation we are interested in. We also shared the same information with our supporters, on our website, social media, and communications, so that they can also advocate for or against something.
