An important aspect of the Transforming Justice project is connecting people in the community to a variety of resources related to ending mass criminalization and incarceration. This includes community groups and individuals in the Milwaukee area, as well as relevant events, projects, works of scholarship, and other documents that explore these issues further. Check back soon for new resource additions as we conduct our Workshops for Liberation.
