WHO WE ARE


Relationships with community partners shape and inspire all facets of the ACC's work. Together with members of the Advisory and Accountability Board (AAB), the ACC brings together scholars, activists, and artists to co-create knowledge and spark transformative justice at the intersections of race, gender, carceral violence, and abolition.
