Healing is Justice
Equal Justice USA first took on the racist criminal justice system more than 30 years ago. What began as groundbreaking work ending state death penalty statutes became a vision for a new justice system that healed rather than harmed.
We partnered with communities affected by violence to build safety based on their needs. While our work ends in 2025, we carry this vision into the world and we urge you to do the same.
Resources to Transform Justice
We end 30 years of organizing and strategy with resources and learnings to share so the work may continue. Guides, reports, fact sheets, videos, and much more, all built by and for people working to break cycles of harm, dismantle the death penalty, and build community-based public safety.
NOTE: This site is no longer maintained due to EJUSA's dissolution. The site will cease to exist after December 2028, when the hosting contracts end. You can find many of our resources here.
PATH TO SAFETY AND JUSTICE
Safety Means...
Safety is not the absence of violence. Justice is not a racist punishment framework. These truths are the bedrock of the work we pursued over more than three decades. Learn more about the drivers of our work, and why they will endure as our movement strengthens.
