MISSION

Abolitionist Sanctuary is a national coalition of Black-serving churches, civic organizations and communities trained in abolitionist principles to unite against the moral crisis of mass incarceration and the criminalization of impoverished Black motherhood. We are abolitionists who collectively make a radical investment in liberation and communal flourishing achieved through education, consulting, and civic engagement. Our educational commitment is to train faith and civic leaders to apply abolitionist principles to repair, restore, and rebuild just and equitable communities. As consultants, we advise organizations to integrate solutions that strengthen diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace. As community organizers, we create transformative justice strategies to increase civic engagement that affirms the inherent worth of underrepresented groups, especially impoverished Black mothers.

VISION

We envision training a faith-based abolitionist movement to repair harms, restore relationships, and rebuild a more just and equitable society for impoverished Black mothers to flourish beyond punishment, policing, and prisons.

VALUES

We follow a 5C-value system derived from the survival strategies of Black mothers who struggle to provide for themselves and their families against interlocking systems of oppression. These values counter the vices of condemnation, neglect, conformity, cowardice, and individualism—all of which support and perpetuate carceral systems.
