MissionJustice Now (the Organization) is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, which was established in April 2002. Its mission is to challenge gendered violence and imprisonment. The Organization works with people in women's prisons to challenge human rights abuses in women's prisons and imprisonment more broadly through a combination of direct services, public education, and human rights strategies. Additionally, the Organization is based on a clinical training organizational structure: interns are trained and supervised by staff to do the bulk of the programmatic work of the organization in partnership with the Organization's constituency in prison.MissionDesc

DescTGI Justice Project The Transgender, Gender Variant, Intersex Justice Project's (TGIJP) mission is to challenge and end human and civil rights abuses committed against transgender, gender variant, and intersex (TGI) people in CA prisons and beyond. Recognizing that poverty borne from profound and pervasive discrimination and marginalization of TGI people is a major underlying cause of why TGI people end up in prison. TGIJP addresses human and civil rights abuses against TGI prisoners through strategies that effect systemic change. TGIJP operates at the intersections of race, gender, sex, class, sexual orientation, intersex condition, and dis/ability, among others, and prioritizes and centralizes the wisdom and leadership of TGI currently and formerly imprisoned people, especially trans women of color.In 2015, we continued to fortify our touchstone programming: hosting two member-leader Sistahs Doin It For Ourselves retreats; publishing our biannual newsletter; hosting regular programming for trans and gender nonconforming people in the San Francisco County jail, and continuing our statewide visitation program. New victories included: launching the Melenie Eleneke Grassroots Re-Entry program; continuing centering black trans leadership in the #BlackLivesMatter movement by attending the Movement for Black Lives convening in Cleveland and being part of the Combahee Alliance Direct Action Training Cohort; leading interventions against the violence that targets black trans people specifically black trans women by launching #BlackTransLiberationTuesday and conducting a Trans March of resilience direct action in response to a call from our sister org, BreakOut, in New Orleans; collaborating with California Coalition for Women Prisoners to conduct a health fair at Chowchilla; fighting to provide relief to trans and gender non conforming people inside SF county jails through strong participation in the campaign to close the SF county jail and working with Transgender Law Center on a policy to provide self determination in housing while inside; and supported the transition of Ms. Janetta Johnson to Executive Director and of Miss Major to Executive Director Emeritus.Desc

Organized press conferences, demonstrations, and other actions challenging prison and jail construction in California.Released the Fourth Edition of the CURB Decarceration Report Card, a resource for counties that are fighting against jail expansion and for community solutions.Presented to groups across California and connected health and human services, education, and environmental justice organizations to our cause.Supported around 5 counties in fighting against jail expansion.Organized annual coalition strategy meeting to discuss campaign goals, objectives, tactics.Coordinated a massive campaign against jail and prison construction funding.Created organizing, media, and advocacy trainings to support development of the coalition.Desc

DescJustice NowJustice Now provides services and education to over 2,500 people annually through: Direct Services: In 2015, we provided direct legal services to over 750 people in California's women's prisons around compassionate release, healthcare access, defense of parental rights/family reunification, and re-sentencing. We are supporting and growing a network of peer educators in prison who work with us to provide legal assistance and health information to over 2,000 people in women's prisons annually through our Legal Advocacy and Wellness Project. Additionally, Justice Now continues to be the only law office in California regularly providing compassionate release services to the public, supporting and training over 30 individuals in navigating the compassionate release process and facilitating 3 terminally ill people in reuniting with their families in 2015. Public Education: We continue our partnership with people in prison to help shape public and intellectual understanding of prison issues and human rights violations in prison. We also educate legislators on alternatives to imprisonment such as compassionate release and the alternative custody program for people in women's prisons. By educating state officials about prisons destruction of families we worked in coalition with CURB garnered legislative support for the Alternative Custody Program expansion and streamlining bill, SB 219, which was signed into law in September 2015. Legal Training: In 2015, we trained over 200 people inside and outside prison to challenge human rights abuses in prison based on international human rights law. Additionally, Justice Now is a teaching law clinic, and since our founding we have trained over 625 interns, volunteers, and legal fellows to combine provision of direct services with broader legislative, communications, human rights and grassroots organizing in partnership with people inside.Desc
