MISSION
Collective Freedom is dedicated to supporting justice-impacted individuals from Southeast Asian communities. Our mission is to provide compassionate and holistic support through a collective and community based model with tools and resources necessary to navigate the impact of incarceration.
Individuals and families who arrived as refugees from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are facing imminent deportation due to old criminal convictions. These formerly incarcerated individuals need support more than ever. To learn more about the issues and what we do, visit our Information for Southeast Asians Facing Deportation page.
