The Promise of Justice Initiative
The Promise of Justice Initiative works to create positive change for people in the criminal legal system at the intersection of impact litigation, direct services and community engagement. Their tools include criminal and civil litigation, organizing, direct support, and policy advocacy. Some general areas of focus include: ending the death penalty, challenging inhumane conditions of confinement, exposing prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, providing probono representation for criminal defendants, and fighting racism in the criminal legal system. The Promise of Justice Initiative uses civil litigation and strategic criminal representation to reform and challenge the injustices of the criminal legal system. It supports its clients and their families directly by organizing family visits, providing funds for commissary, and helping them navigate their incarceration. The initiative also uses organizing and advocacy to support and elevate impacted people and communities, and advocate for policy change.
