EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW

WASHINGTON, District of Columbia, 20004 United States

Mission Statement

Equal Justice Under Law is dedicated to promoting a society in which all human beings can flourish by ensuring that the legal system protects the important principles of human and civil rights, equality, and fairness. We fight the inequalities that continue to permeate both our legal system and our society as a whole.

About This Cause

Through impact litigation, policy reform, and public outreach, we seek radical reform of systemic inequalities in our justice system. We believe the justice system should improve well-being across society, but repeatedly it creates cycles of poverty, ruins lives, and makes everybody less safe. When counterproductive laws trap millions of people in poverty every year, communities are made worse off. A justice system premised on equality should promote opportunities for all, including housing, employment, and family relationships. Our mission is to end inequality in the justice system. Since our founding in 2014, we have developed special expertise on the use of money bail pretrial, wealth-based driver's license suspensions, debtor's prisons, abusive private probation practices, and other areas of wealth-based inequality in our justice system. Equal Justice Under Law moves beyond temporary solutions to create lasting improvements in our justice system — to end wealth-based discrimination and create a justice system that is truly equal.
