EQUAL JUSTICE USA INC

Narrative shifting programto create the climate for new approaches to take hold, ejusa educates the public and policymakers about community-led approaches to violence prevention, brings media attention to the impact and success of these programs, and elevates key voices that push back on the current punitive narrative of justice. In newark, nj, baton rouge, la, and other cities, ejusa engages in public education campaigns to lift the stories of people most affected by the justice system. Ejusa builds on these local stories - including holding newark up as a national model for addressing violence - to create a national narrative that emphasizes the success of programs that address violence while reducing reliance on policing and mass incarceration. This national communications program works to change false narratives about violence, race, and trauma while lifting up the effectiveness of community-centered, trauma-informed responses to violence that center the healing and well-being of the most impacted communities.
