She has continued fighting for prison abolition, co-founding Books Through Bars NYC as a joint project between Blackout Books & Nightcrawlers Anarchist Black Cross in 1996 at the age of nineteen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=9 May 2014 )〕 The project moved to ABC No Rio in 1997 or 1998.〔Email from Victoria Law〕 A few years later, in 2003, at the prompting of women incarcerated in an Oregon prison, Law launched the zine ''Tenacious: Art and Writing from Women in Prison''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=9 May 2014 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=9 May 2014 )〕 (Note: the zine's title varies occasionally.)

Law works with Books Through Bars (now located at Freebird Bookstore〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=9 May 2014 )〕 in Brooklyn).

In her twenties, after having a child, Law's activism began to include raising awareness of parents in anarchist communities' need for solidarity, including free childcare activities at events and protests. Together with long-time mamazine maker China Martens, Law began doing workshops and editing compilation zines about parenting for activists and their allies, called ''Don't Leave Your Friends Behind.'' The two eventually co-edited a book by the same name, also published by PM.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=9 May 2014 )〕 As her child got older and Law engaged with the literature her child read, Law began to focus attention on the lack of racial diversity in young-adult fiction, including writing a series of blog posts on girls of color in dystopia for Bitch Media.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=10 May 2014 )〕
