EMERGENT JUSTICE

Description

Emergent Justice is a nonprofit social justice organization dedicated to challenging injustice by empowering communities to address issues that affect their lives. Founded in 2021, we are narrative and communications strategists, artists, and community organizers dedicated to advancing social justice and equity. We focus our work in four areas:

(1) Interrupting the school-to-prison pipeline
(2) Participatory Defense is a national movement of people working in their local community to fight excessive-sentencing and wrongful convictions.
(3) Voter education and engagement
(4) Reproductive justice, which we define as: human right to have a child, to not have a child, to parent the children that we have in healthy and safe environments, to make sure there aren’t food deserts or contaminated water or police bullets, conditions that do not make communities safe for the children we bring into the world.
