Restorative Justice Chatham-Kent (RJCK) is an incorporated non-profit organization that offers an alternative to the traditional criminal justice system for youth aged 12 - 17. We aim to repair the community relationships that are damaged when a crime is committed. Instead of simply punishing and labelling young people who have committed crimes, RJCK gives them the opportunity to take responsibility for their behaviour, understand the full impact of their actions on others, and repair the harm done to their victims and the community as a whole.

The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) is a civil rights organization dedicated to the empowerment of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people, including people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). NBJC's mission is to end racism, homophobia, and LGBTQ bias and stigma. As America's leading national Black LGBTQ civil rights organization focused on federal public policy, NBJC has accepted the charge to lead Black families in strengthening the bonds and bridging the gaps between the movements for racial justice and LGBTQ equality. Since 2003, NBJC has provided leadership at the intersection of national civil rights groups and LGBTQ organizations, advocating for the unique challenges and needs of the African American LGBTQ community that are often relegated to the sidelines. NBJC envisions a world where all people are fully-empowered to participate safely, openly, and honestly in family, faith, and community, regardless of race, class, gender identity, or sexual orientation. NBJC's programmatic work aims to build partnerships and provide cultural competency training and education—moving beyond tokenization to more intentional diversity and inclusion strategies in both African American spaces and in LGBTQ spaces.

The Calgary Youth Justice Society provides three programs to support young people who are vulnerable to risk-taking and criminal activities. Youth Justice Committees are an alternative to court. The Committees find appropriate and meaningful consequences and solutions for the young person between 12-18 years involved in criminal activity and his/her victims. NGAGE supports youth who are assigned community service hours in response to their offence and who are having trouble starting or completing their mandated hours. It provides wrap around support to youth who have significant barriers which would prevent them from achieving success in a typical volunteer placement. In the Lead is an innovative leadership and character-building program using an approach with young people that engages with what is strong in a young person as opposed to what is wrong. It increases resilience and reduces the likelihood of risk-taking behaviour that could lead to criminal activity or leaving school.

Massachusetts jails are filled with people awaiting trial simply because they cannot afford bail. Bail leads to longer incarcerations times, lost jobs, lost housing, and devastated families. The Massachusetts Bail Fund provides up to $500 bail for those who would otherwise have to remain in jail.

We work with others who share our vision to tackle the most pressing injustices of our day—from the causes and consequences of mass incarceration, racial disparities, and the loss of public trust in law enforcement, to the unmet needs of the vulnerable, the marginalized, and those harmed by crime and violence.
