About us
The Just Trust is 100% dedicated to scaling, aligning, and deploying resources across the criminal justice reform ecosystem. Through a seed investment of $350 million, our team of experts is here to power the hard work of advocates – state by state and across the country – as well as help build a big tent of creative alliances, level up flexible 501(c)3 and 501(c)4 resources, center the work of directly impacted individuals, and sustain the calls for durable reform among the mainstream. We do this in service of a smaller, more humane, more dignified engine of justice and safety.

All eyes on Louisiana today, as its devastating criminal justice rollbacks go into effect. Starting today, the state will all but eliminate parole, and start channeling around $1bn in taxpayer dollars to keep more people locked up in the state’s already bulging prison system. And none of it will make communities safer. Our hearts break for all the people and families that will likely never be together again or have the hope — or motivation — for returning home. This is what happens when we let headlines of crime and political discourse dictate policy. It’s a real shame, Louisiana. https://loom.ly/-Xv71Ik
