APAEP uses human-centered language. For example, we refer to our students as students, and individuals who have experienced incarceration as system-impacted or people who are currently/formerly incarcerated.
To learn more, and see other examples, please read this open letter from Eddie Ellis, Founder of Center for NuLeadership on Urban Solutions, the language guide created by the Underground Scholars Initiative, the “Words Matter” Initiative from The Fortune Society, and FWD.US’s People First Campaign.
