Freedom Side School

Freedom Side is a place where we teach love, learn freedom*, and practice healing justice.

At Freedom Side School we provide a free education rooted in abolitionist values to children impacted by incarceration. We nurture our students as visionaries, organizers, and architects of a more free world.

*Thank you to Carla Shalaby for these words!

At Freedom Side Commons families, educators and organizers work across prison walls to build a home where we learn together, care for each other, and grow our movement toward abolitionist futures.
