Our mission is to make freedom possible for the community of current and formerly incarcerated individuals, youth and families in high-risk situations, allies, supporters, and their communities. We do this through culturally sensitive direct support, education, power building, organizing, and advocacy.

CONNECT ·2024 Grants ChallengeAPI Reentry Inclusion Support & Empowerment
LA 2050 funds enable formerly incarcerated Asians and Pacific islander to experience inclusion instead of alienation and isolation; support, rather than stigma and shame; empowerment instead of disenfranchisement. API RISE facilitates deep connections and consistent social support, authentic healing spaces, assistance with daily needs; and culturally appropriate leadership development to prevent recidivism and relapse. Our short LA 2050 videos will capture these practices as a way of expanding our impact. We Rise Together! API RISE.
