Erase the Gang Databse (2021)


The Erase the Gang Database documentary project is part of the broader, multi-region Collective Freedom Project.

Our community campaigns are not relegated to “criminal justice” or “immigrant rights,” but are based in recognition that all of us deserve a world where we can thrive away from police and ICE violence and outside of jails and detention centers. 

By working at the intersections of the criminal-legal and the immigration systems, our communities are pressuring counties to stop racist policing practices, close jails, and expand second chances. As more wake up to the fact that anti-Black and racist policing leads directly to the growth of detention and deportation, our movements become clearer aligned in our vision and strategies for a more just society.
