The National Council was founded in 2010 by a group of women incarcerated in federal prison in Danbury, CT. Many of them are mothers. The organization works to end the criminal legal system’s forced separation of women and girls from their communities and loved ones through hyper-local organizing, public awareness education, movement lawyering, and the national #FreeHer Campaign. The National Council also organizes against the incarceration of women globally through its International Network. The mission was and still is, to end the incarceration of women and girls.
