The Civil Survival Project organizes directly impacted people and invests in a leadership capacity to advocate for criminal justice reform. The criminal justice and reentry system are failing us so Civil Survival organizes people and empowers them to get active in creating real change. Their mission is to Educate, Motivate, and Liberate. That's what Civil Survival is all about. Civil Survival teaches participants how to use their collective voice to create policy change that promotes liberty and justice for all. A lot of the Civil Survival participants have served time for mistakes they've made but not one of them was sentenced to a lifetime of unemployment, homelessness, and a mountain of debt.
