Forward Justice

Forward justice is a nonpartisan law, policy, and strategy center dedicated to advancing racial, social, and economic justice in the U.S. South.

We challenge and change laws, policies, systems, and practices that harm the most vulnerable in our society and keep us from full liberation. We work with movement partners and community members to:

• Protect and expand voting rights

• End the carceral system and its abuses of Black, Brown and poor people

• Reduce barriers to re-entry and increase resources for formerly incarcerated people and their families

• Ensure equal access to basic human rights like healthcare, jobs with living wages, and clean water

• Reimage public safety and the role of police in our communities

We are organizers, lawyers, creatives, strategists and directly impacted people dedicated to ensuring that the ‘we’ in We the People is truly inclusive and representative of ALL Americans.
