Liberty Hill is proud to announce a $2 million commitment to the Liberation Fund, aimed at ending the incarceration of girls and gender-expansive youth in Los Angeles County. This investment will support 12 BIPOC-led organizations and provide crucial infrastructure support to the community backbone team leading this groundbreaking, multi-year initiative.

The work of the Liberation Fund in Los Angeles County is laying the foundation to create a model for ending the incarceration of girls and gender-expansive youth across California, with the potential to be replicated nationwide.

The Liberation Fund not only aims to transform the lives of those impacted by the justice system but also underscores the broader need for supporting women and girls, who are often overlooked.

Despite the contributions and potential of women and girls, charitable giving for this demographic remains less than 2% of all U.S. giving. This stark reality highlights the importance of initiatives like the Liberation Fund, which prioritize the needs and rights of women and girls and sees their unique needs, ideas, and innovation as vital to advancing movement causes for all.

Through the Liberation Fund, Liberty Hill is challenging the status quo and reaffirming its commitment to gender equity and justice. By investing in organizations championing the rights of girls and gender-expansive youth, we are building a future where every young person can thrive.
