Community Spring

We are an economic justice organization disrupting the cycle of poverty and incarceration. Our vision for economic justice is grounded in three principles: income, power, and community. We believe that everyone needs access to income for economic stability, power to transform unjust systems, and community that offers belonging and connection. We are community-led which means people impacted by poverty direct our priorities. We focus on the intersection of poverty and the carceral system because we have seen first hand how mass incarceration is both a cause and effect of poverty.
