One for Justice
A coalition of philanthropists, entrepreneurs, and innovators, committed to reimagining the criminal justice system.
Who we are.
One for Justice is a new coalition of philanthropists, foundations, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, committed to reimagining America’s justice system. This community brings together people with different expertise and interests. What connects them is their shared generosity, curiosity and vision. We are a community for those courageous enough to build a different world.
Shape the future.
Mass incarceration is one of the most urgent crisis facing America today. It has a profoundly nefarious effect on our social and economic structure, and tears at the very viability of our democracy. It also constrains other systems, from education to healthcare to housing, while bloating budgets and diminishing our economy. A better future requires a full reimagining.
The time is now.
America is at a crossroads, facing a future that feels wildly unpredictable. But that uncertainty is an opportunity. Political shifts, the pandemic, and the climate crisis have led millions of people to think critically about their values and shift their perspectives. One for Justice gives members the opportunity to seize this moment and shape a better future. The time is now.
