Check out these ladies 🙌🏼 Lioness WON in Federal court against @texasdeptofcriminaljustice
The #TDCJ plans to appeal the ruling that they were violating the 8th amendment 🙄😒. 

History
The hope of Lioness began as a promise made inside a Texas prison, shaped by survival and a refusal to forget the women we would one day leave behind. In 2022, that promise carried us back to one another on the outside, as we organized to stop the execution of Melissa Lucio. In that moment, we felt the force of our collective power and the truth of what we could build together. In that moment, Lioness was born.

Mission
Lioness Justice Impacted Women’s Alliance is a nonprofit organization founded and led by currently and formerly incarcerated girls, women, and gender-expansive people. Our mission is to end the incarceration and systemic devaluation of our population within the Texas criminal legal system, while also building power within our communities.

Vision
We envision a society where we are spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically free from all forms of violence and harm in the criminal legal system. Our vision can be achieved through radical advocacy, leadership development, community building, grassroot organizing and civic engagement.

Values
We believe that lived experience is the guiding force to change. We believe in honoring each other’s differences while striving to bring one unified voice of currently and formerly incarcerated girls, women and gender expansive people in Texas into all spaces. We believe that jails and prisons by nature perpetuate harm and violence. 

We are committed to nurturing a space rooted in the intersectionality of the women's rights movement and grounded in the lived experiences of justice-impacted individuals. We recognize that while all girls, women and gender expansive people face systemic oppression, the ways in which we all experience oppression are different, by race, age, class, gender identity, sexuality, disability, and more. We strive to ensure that every person who connects with our work feels seen, respected, and valued.

As many of you know, I have started a petition. Advocacy starts with action, we must rehabilitate our loved ones, neighbors, and communities. To restore purpose, critical thought, and safety. 

This was my comment at the TBCJ August 2026 meeting.

We must look to the adult parole and probation to ensure officers are held to a standard, and open the conversation of amending Texas's current felon voting policy. 

The road to recovery isn't easy, but I have faith in the lone star state's inhabitants. With all hands on deck & the uprising generations of leaders, i do believe we can rectify the "Justice system" in our home state.
