Creating a Consciously Secure World
Our vision is to create a more consciously secure world for billions of people. In that, we also understand everyone does not look at safety, security, protection and freedom in the same way. Certainly, there are universal synergies that we can relate to as human beings, within the immense complexity and diversity of this beautiful world, with its over 24,000 distinct peoples, and groups; however, there are bound to be differences. Here, at PurePurePurePoint International we honor those differences and we want you to know that all are welcome.
In whatever way these resources are valuable to you, we wanted to make them widely available. We believe inclusion is one of a few distinct gateways that lead to a consciously secure world.

The National Bail Out collective is a Black-led and Black-centered collective of abolitionist organizers, lawyers and activists building a community-based movement to support our folks and end systems of pretrial detention and ultimately mass incarceration. The National Bail Out Collective coordinates the Mama’s Day Bail Outs, where we bail out as many Black Mamas and caregivers as we can so they can spend Mother’s Day with their families where they belong! The National Bail Out Collective also provides fellowship and employment opportunities for those we bail out in order to support their growth and create a national community of leaders who have experienced incarceration. We also work with groups across the country to support ongoing bail reform efforts and create resources for organizers and advocates interested in ending pretrial detention.
