INDEPENDENCE IS POWER.
STAY WITH US. STAY INDEPENDENT.
DECLARE: I AM PJP.
People’s Justice Project is powered by the people, not politicians, not corporations, and not federal dollars. We believe in community-led organizing that answers only to the people we serve.

Our Mission
The People’s Justice Project (PJP) builds the power of black and brown people disproportionately affected by state violence, mass criminalization, and incarceration by centering community organizing and leadership development.
Our Goal
The People’s Justice Project (PJP) envisions a world without the carceral state and an end to colonialism–Africa and all colonized lands are liberated, all people have self-determination, and our minds are free of colonial teachings.
Our Methods
To help achieve this vision, PJP seeks to be a political home for people who want to struggle together and build power with each other. Using a framework of Black Power, we organize to stop police terror and invest in our communities’ needs. We endeavor to help people enter political life and be a bridge, rather than a gatekeeper, to building deeper and broader based movements for justice.
