Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Liberatory Care Collective: Chicago (LC3)! Our work is rooted in mad liberation, abolition, disability justice, anti-racism, and intersectionality, and we strive to make mental healthcare more accessible and equitable for oppressed communities.
Our mission is to foster equitable, inclusive mental health care rooted in abolitionist principles. At LC3, we dismantle systemic barriers and reimagine care through community-based, anti-carceral approaches that uphold individual autonomy and cultivate collective liberation.
