Community Justice is at the heart of everything we do—and we believe it’s the foundation of strong, healthy communities. Too often, the systems meant to serve our communities end up doing the opposite, building barriers where there should be bridges. That’s why we work with both the justice system and communities, from supporting public safety efforts led by residents themselves to working with the courts to reduce incarceration. With our innovative programs, field-leading research, and decades of experience, the Center for Justice Innovation is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between our communities and the systems that serve them. Together, we plant the seeds that grow #CommunityJustice. 🌱

A human exchange over a cup of coffee can go a long way towards bringing humanity to a sometimes alienating experience. ☕ Watch as we explore the “Coffee Corner,” a partnership between our Brooklyn Justice Initiatives team and Fountain House, where participants in New York City’s Supervised Release Program can stop by for a friendly conversation and free coffee, tea, or soda.

Ending gun violence in our communities is critical to public safety for all New Yorkers, and investments are needed to end the tragic loss of lives. That’s why the Center for Justice Innovation is supporting two new bills to tackle New York’s ongoing gun violence crisis alongside State Senator Zellnor Y. Myrie, Council Member Crystal Hudson, and fellow gun violence prevention advocates like New Yorkers Against Gun Violence. We renew our call for ongoing support for gun violence prevention, intervention, and healing resources. By supporting on-the-ground community programming such as our projects Neighbors in Action, SOS Save Our Streets, Street Action Network, and RISE, and strengthening our policy and government response, we can create lasting change.
