The Community Justice Reform Coalition and Action Fund are being launched to provide leadership on gun violence prevention and criminal justice reform issues from within communities of color. Currently, the organizations leading these efforts are not led by people of color and have failed to implement strategies that engage communities most impacted by gun violence. The Coalition will advocate for evidence-based policy reforms and intervention programs, elevate the priorities of communities of color, and provide funding infrastructure for local organizations working to reduce violence in urban areas through a three-pronged approach of building community, fighting for reform, and seeking justice.
