Mission

We are a healing community working to end child sexual abuse.

Vision Statement

We believe people heal better together
and that it takes more than cops, jails, and prisons to end child sexual abuse.

We know this in our bones because we come from people
and we are people who have been harmed by abuse, oppression, and violence.

The Firecracker Foundation will shift culture through healing justice practices that restore hope,
transform the consequences of intergenerational trauma, and build healthier futures.

Values

Accountability | Joy | Possibility | Interconnectedness
