Equal Justice USA Inc. aims to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma. They work at the intersection of criminal justice, public health, and racial justice to prioritize healing and safety over retribution, advance racial equity, and meet the needs of survivors. Their programs include repealing the death penalty, violence reduction initiatives, and narrative shifting to educate the public, advocate for community-led approaches, and change false narratives about violence, race, and trauma.
