How are these tools used to intentionally violate the rights of marginalized communities? What does it all mean for the fight to end mass incarceration?
What does Justice for All Do?
J4A is committed to ending mass incarceration and reimagining what community safety looks like. This work includes political education, centering the stories of those most impacted by the criminal legal system, and electing accountable people to positions such as District Attorney.
