About Us
Mission: 

Root & Rebound's mission is to transfer power and information from the policy and legal communities to the people most impacted by our criminal justice system through public education, direct legal services, and policy advocacy, so that the law serves, rather than harms, low-income communities and communities of color in the United States.

Programs: 

Guided by the self-determined goals and needs of our clients, Root & Rebound provides direct support to people with arrest and conviction histories - as well as their family members and the people who support them - across the state of California through the following services:

  • Reentry Legal Hotline (every Friday)

  • Prison Mail

  • Legal Clinics & Trainings

  • Embedding Advocates in Impacted Communities

We have offices in Oakland (headquarters), Fresno, and Los Angeles, and offer mobile reentry legal clinics in Tribal communities. We also provide tailored trainings and services to partner organizations and have a growing library of Know-Your-Rights reentry resources for individuals with records and their family members, service providers, and employers!
