OUR MISSION

Promise of Justice Initiative fights for the dignity, freedom, and autonomy of those targeted and touched by the criminal legal system and for an end to mass incarceration.

OUR VISION

PJI is building a world that no longer warehouses human beings in prisons - a world where justice means a legal system that recognizes freedom and dignity as universal rights, embodies an ethos of transformation, restoration, and safety, and values community, family, dreams, and joy as part of Black life and all life. We believe that a better world is possible. We believe in the promise of justice.
