IIDDII Mission Statement (with Crime Bill Reference)

The If I Don’t Do It Institute (IIDDII) was born in the shadow of the 1994 Crime Bill — a

policy that destroyed families, erased futures, and flooded our communities with cages

instead of care. We exist to turn that damage into data, and that data into change. We

are a health and research institute led by the formerly incarcerated, dedicated to

restoring agency, dismantling systemic violence, and designing what justice should

have looked like all along. If we don’t do it, it won’t get done.
