Our goal is to end prison birth in America.

Picture
The Ostara Initiative is a women-founded and women-led, hybrid, non-profit organization based in Minnesota, but with programs in Alabama, Oregon, and Wisconsin. We believe in solutions rather than problem or people management.

We search for solutions in the soil, seed, and root of our communities, government, and institutions. Our work challenges the ​destructive tendencies of for-profit prisons and related businesses as well as the chasm between the carceral state and community-based support.
