Poder in Action’s mission is to build power to disrupt and dismantle systems of oppression and determine a liberated future as people of color in Arizona through our lived experience, leadership development and civic participation.  

Interrupting Criminalization is an initiative led by researchers Mariame Kaba and Andrea J. Ritchie. We create resources, develop containers, and weave cross-movement networks, building capacity for and with organizers and advocates working to end the growing criminalization and incarceration of women, LGBTQ, trans, and gender non-conforming people of color.

Interrupting Criminalization offers coordination between campaigns in national movements, support and tools for emerging movements, and political education and skill-building for the long-haul work of abolitionist world-building.


Radical Roadmaps is a graphic recording and illustration practice. I aim to create accessible and visual political education tools and offer live recording for organizations doing movement and liberation work. I primarily work digitally and am looking to collaborate with organizations, organizers, writers and artists to break down complex topics and frameworks in beautiful, meaningful and memorable graphics. Particularly focused on working with BIPOC led organizations and organizers, I have created graphics on topics such as base building, mental health stigma, sex work decriminalization, reproductive justice, prison abolition & more.
