Fighting for freedom from racial oppression in the American legal system. Join us.
WE AIM TO RADICALLY TRANSFORM THE AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM – TO STOP PRISONS AND POLICE FROM WRONGFULLY INJURING, IMPRISONING, AND EXECUTING PEOPLE.
Change LEaders
We’ve helped elect 26 leaders who fight for real justice since 2020.
Candidates with upcoming elections:
Change Laws
We pass laws that protect people.
Non-violent First Responders
Calling 911 shouldn’t be a death sentence.
Ban No-Knock Warrants
No-knock police raids are deadly — they should be banned everywhere.
Change LIVES
We advocate with families of victims whose lives have been stolen by state power.
Free Marvin Guy
Seven years in jail with no trial. Facing the death penalty for defending himself in his own home. Free Marvin Guy.
Free Julius Jones
Julius has an alibi for the crime he is accused of, but the jury never heard it. An eyewitness identified someone else at the crime scene. And the key witness for the prosecution took a secret deal to reduce his own prison time.
