Justice

The female lion known as a lioness, is the perfect symbol of female power and sisterhood. We embrace the inner lioness in each of us as we gather together to advocate for the rights of currently and formerly incarcerated girls and women in Texas.

Our vision can be achieved through radical advocacy, education, community engagement, grassroot organizing and legislative empowerment.
