Equal Justice USA

We are breaking cycles of trauma by promoting and strengthening alternative responses to violence. When we succeed, we will transform justice from a system of punishment and harm to one of healing, equity, and genuine accountability.

Equal Justice USA is a national organization working to repeal the death penalty and to help communities, including churches, respond to harm without centering punishment, police, or prisons. We engage in restorative justice, violence interruption, and other forms of community-based violence intervention as an alternative to our criminal legal system.
