A report by the National Black Women’s Justice Institute and Interrupting Criminalization that examines diversion programs from the perspective of the people they impact the most — participants themselves — and offers recommendations for program evaluation and creation of community-based programs that genuinely divert people from the criminal punishment system toward sustainable well-being.

Challenging, interrupting, and building a world beyond criminalization is the unifying thread of IC’s work — and of the infrastructure and resources we are creating to support organizers on the ground across the country. Learn more in this summary of IC’s first five years of work.

Illustrated graphic notes from IC’s Building Coordinated Crisis Response monthly practice space, which kicked off in 2022. This virtual learning space is for groups working to collectively intervene in and respond to crises without police.
