Mission Statement
To transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma.
Description
We imagine a justice system that provides effective, trauma-informed responses to violence and crime; invests in accountability that is restorative; supports those harmed by crime; coordinates with other systems to address trauma and promote the health and safety of communities; and seeks to acknowledge and repair historical trauma, racial bias, and lack of trust - particularly in disenfranchised communities.
Equal Justice USA (EJUSA) is a national organization working at the intersection of criminal justice, public health, and racial justice to elevate healing and safety over retribution, advance racial equity, and meet the needs of survivors. Our primary programs work to end the death penalty, limit and transform policing, and change the national narrative on violence and accountability.
