OUR MISSION
The Promise of Justice Initiative (PJI) is a New Orleans based legal organization. Our work includes a unique combination of impact litigation, strategic criminal litigation, organizing, and legislative advocacy. We are bold and we take risks.
At PJI, we believe in the dignity, autonomy, and value of all people, including those in prison and their families. Our work challenges the notion that prisons keep us safe and that people with convictions do not have rights. We believe that those who harm others have been harmed and that healing breaks the cycle.
The Promise of Justice Initiative believes that a better world is possible.
We believe in the promise of justice.
