Fighting for Justice, Equality & Reform

Mission

Equal Justice Matters was conceived out of a desire to PROACTIVELY educate the youth, families, community leaders and policy makers about the unequal treatment of marginalized Blacks, Whites and People of Color in the American Justice System. We aim to teach people how to avoid becoming a casualty of the War on Drugs or becoming entangled in the system in general. Individual donations provide vital support for our Jobs Over Guns program, community outreach, and proactive advocacy efforts.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Jobs Over Guns Proactive Crime Intervention Program

Our goal is to decrease rates of incarceration by providing a safe environment for at-risk individuals to network with like-minded people, learn to type, learn basic computer and smartphone skills, compile resumes, acquire appropriate interview and work clothing, enroll in training programs, and apply for jobs.

We are also working with the community to compile a list of potential employers that hire felons, but we are even more interested in employers that would be willing to train people without experience. We wish to connect people with a job and training BEFORE they consider committing a crime to make money. With this proactive approach, we aim to help connect young adults with employment before they have involvement with the justice system.

Population(s) Served
At-risk youth
Economically disadvantaged people
Incarcerated people
Victims of crime and abuse
Unemployed people
