We focus on Washtenaw County, home of the state’s only women’s prison. We provide direct advocacy, personal guidance and liberation work with long-serving people in prison.

AFSC Michigan also engages in base-building through various organizing strategies, including the Welcome Home Good Neighbor Project--Freedom Hub and the Let Me Tell You project. These projects are dedicated to individual and mass liberation.

We organize in diverse communities and lead multiple coalitions. We are now working with survivor communities to advance resentencing legislation. AFSC staff serve on various workgroups creating more racial and gender equity in courts, law enforcement agencies, jails and prisons. We strive to shift money away from prisons towards more community-centered approaches to healing harm. 

Guided by the Quaker belief in the divine light of each person, AFSC works with people of all faiths and backgrounds to challenge unjust systems and promote lasting peace.
