About Worth Rises

Worth Rises is a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to dismantling the prison industry and ending the exploitation of those it touches. Partnering extensively and deliberately with directly impacted people, we work to expose the commercialization of the criminal legal system and advocate and organize to protect and return the resources extracted from affected communities. Through our work, we strive to help pave the road toward police and prison abolition. EXPOSING EXPLOITATION We conduct research, collect data, and perform innovative analyses aimed at unmasking the harms caused by the prison industrial complex. Understanding the mobilizing power of knowledge, we transform our analyses into accessible and compelling content designed to increase awareness and shift discourse around the commercialization of justice. ORGANIZING FOR CHANGE We organize and lead campaigns that center on protecting and returning resources to directly-impacted communities. We equip consumers, investors, public agents, elected officials, celebrities, litigators, advocates, and the public with the tools needed to challenge those who profit from our nation's carceral crisis.
