Empower State-Based Organizations Seeking Racial Equity and Social, Economic, and Criminal Justice
We can reach our goal in the next 6 months with your help!
The National Network of Justice is a membership-led organization established to support and strengthen the work of state-based organizations including crime survivors, formerly incarcerated leaders, as well as, youth, immigration, public health and reentry service organizations seeking to reduce jail, prison, and detention populations safely and permanently.
We invite you to view our brief introductory video below. In addition we have shared stories about a few of our members and YouTube vidoes of the amazing work they are engaged in.
James Dold James overcame an abusive childhood, is now a lawyer and founder of Human Rights for Kids (HRFK). NNJ supported HRFK by providing funds for his organization to hire a consultant to assist with their strategic plan. Pamela Winn Pamela was incarcerated while pregnant. While shackled, she fell and miscarried and was traumatized when guards disposed of her child in the garbage. Her organization Restore Her Us has led efforts supporting state and federal legislation against shackling pregnant women. We supported her attendance at our Mississippi Strategies Exchange enabling her to meet Marissa Alexander, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Florida soon after giving birth for firing a warning shot at her husband. Pauline Rogers Pauline and her husband Frederick founded RECH Foundation, a home for women returning from prison. NNJ also provided a stipend for Pauline to attend the Safe Housing Replication Model Training hosted by A New Way of Life in California. NNJ also designed and purchased holiday cards and postage so Pauline could send holiday cards to prisoners in Mississippi. Recently Pauline received Mississippi’s 2021 Remarkable Women Award.
