Mission
The Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC) works to end mass incarceration in California. To ensure our communities are safe, healthy, and whole, ARC empowers formerly and currently incarcerated people to thrive by providing a support network, comprehensive reentry services, and opportunities to advocate for policy change. Through our grassroots policy advocacy, we are dedicated to transforming the criminal justice system so that it is more just and equitable for all people.
Anti-Recidivism Coalition believes communities are stronger when individual people are safe, healthy, and whole.
History
While ARC was founded in 2013, its roots can be traced back to 2003, when founder and esteemed film producer, Scott Budnick, first stepped into a juvenile hall and learned about the challenges facing incarcerated youth. What began as a support network for juvenile lifers returning home, has grown into one of California's most successful grassroots justice reform organizations.
