Abolitionist Tech Collective • Oakland, CA
ALF Services is building abolitionist digital infrastructure — tools that protect our data, reflect our values, and strengthen grassroots movements. This is your space to access shared resources, connect with movement partners, and apply to join our community.
Community Resources
These resources are built for organizations doing abolitionist work. Vetted members get full access — apply below if you're not yet a member.
A searchable directory of Federal, State, and County facilities with mail policies, contact details, and key information. Built to support imprisoned comrades, this resource helps organizations stay updated on where and how to reach people inside.
A community-maintained hub of resources for people on the inside. Organizations can post and access shared materials designed to be mailed, or otherwise distributed to support incarcerated folx. Collaboratively built, collectively maintained.
A community-controlled alternative to Google Calendar. Organize schedules, coordinate campaigns, and work together without corporate platforms.
Secure, values-aligned web hosting on servers we control — built for nonprofits and collectives. This service makes sure your digital presence stays independent, accountable, and outside of corporate surveillance. Your infrastructure, your rules.
Security Resources
Practical resources on safe communication, handling prisoner mail, and resisting surveillance. These guides provide step-by-step strategies that organizations and volunteers can use to protect their work and comrades.

Our Values
Guided by our abolitionist values and collective vision, ALF Services builds technology that centers the communities most impacted by carceral systems. We refuse to build tools that surveil, extract, or profit from the people we serve.
Abolition Technology is infrastructure that belongs to the movement — not to corporations, not to the state.
Is not run by corporations
Is privacy-focused and never sells data
Is accessible and secure for allies
Promotes community-to-community collaboration
