UNCOMMON LAW
OAKLAND, CA · Crime & Legal-Related
Mission
UnCommon Law fights to ensure that all people incarcerated for violent crime have access to healing, justice, and effective legal representation.Through our unique, trauma-informed model of advocacy, we provide the space currently missing in the system for healing, accountability, and safe pathways home from prison. In developing new self narratives, the people we serve are able to more effectively disrupt violence inside and outside prison, and become leaders who change negative societal narratives about those incarcerated for violent crime. Our groundbreaking approach is changing policy and outcomes, driven by the voices and experiences of system-impacted communities.
