Lioness: Justice Impacted Women’s Alliance advocates for the rights of currently and formerly incarcerated girls and women in Texas.
Their Mission
Lioness: Justice Impacted Women’s Alliance is an organization led by currently and formerly incarcerated girls and women in Texas with the purpose of ending the incarceration and systematic devaluing of the girls and women within our criminal legal system.
Their Values
- We believe that lived experience is the guiding force to change
- We believe in honoring each other’s differences while striving to bring one unified voice of currently and formerly incarcerated girls and women in Texas into all spaces
- We believe that jails and prisons perpetuate harm and violence against girls and women
Their Vision
They envision a society where they and their sisters are spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically free from all forms of violence and harm in the criminal legal system. That vision can be achieved through radical advocacy, education, community engagement, grassroot organizing and legislative action.
