“When someone is released from prison, they often have many urgent needs: Where will I live? How do I get my vital documents? How do I get basic supplies now, and where can I find work to ensure longer-term financial stability and independence?

Simon Liu is intimately familiar with these questions. ‘I was incarcerated when I was 16 years old, and I got out of prison when I was 37. When I got out, it was a whole new world. You feel vulnerable, you feel like you need help, but you don’t know what kind of help you need.’

That’s where the Bay Area Freedom Collective (BAFC) comes in.”

Bay Area Freedom Collective: “BAFC is a grassroots reentry support community and mutual aid network organized by and for formerly incarcerated people. Our mission is to ensure that community members returning from prison are connected to the resources and support they need to be safe, healthy, and empowered to rebuild their lives. We envision our collective as a shared ‘community garden’ where all members are welcome to contribute, cultivate, and grow things together.”
