Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Equal Justice Society is transforming the nations consciousness on race through law, social science, and the arts. Our legal strategy aims to broaden conceptions of present-day discrimination to include unconscious and structural bias by using social science, structural analysis, and real-life experience. Currently, EJS targets its advocacy efforts on school discipline, special education, and the school-to-prison pipeline, race-conscious remedies, and inequities in the criminal justice system. EJS also engages the arts and artists in creating work and performances that allow wider audiences to understand social justice issues and struggles.

The Equal Justice Society is a national legal organization focused on restoring Constitutional safeguards against discrimination. We are driven by a vision of a society where race is no longer a barrier to opportunity.

IRS990/Desc0The Equal Justice Society (EJS) is a national legal civil rights organization dedicated to transforming the nations consciousness on race through law, social science, and the arts. Founded in 2000 to reverse an imbalance in our courts and to shift the hearts and minds of the public, at that time, few people in society were talking about race in an open matter which led EJS to have as one of its first priorities, Putting race on the table. Over the years EJS has devoted its efforts to addressing how racism operates in contemporary society, at both the structural and interpersonal levels, how the law addresses and fails to address racism, and why racial justice work remains urgently necessary. Our goal is to help achieve a society where race is no longer a barrier to opportunity. We are working diligently and systematically to restore the constitutional protections of the Fourteenth Amendments Equal Protection Clause.

IRS990/MissionDesc0The Equal Justice Society is transforming the nations consciousness on race through law, social science, and the arts. Our legal strategy aims to broaden conceptions of present-day discrimination to include unconscious and structural bias by using social science, structural analysis, and real-life experience. Currently, EJS targets its advocacy efforts on school discipline, special education, and the school-to-prison pipeline, race-conscious remedies, and inequities in the criminal justice system. EJS also engages the arts and artists in creating work and performances that allow wider audiences to understand social justice issues and struggles.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0EJS employs online multichannel content, carefully selected appearances by EJS staff, media and messaging support for the legal program, and developing the arts into vehicles for racial justice awareness. Our communications strategies are designed to integrate our legal work and public policy advocacy to reach audiences beyond the social justice and civil rights communities. We work towards our goals by leveraging social media to raise awareness about modern forms of discrimination, and partnering with key allies and lifting up stories that address the complexities of race and racial discrimination. We are also strengthening the progressive infrastructure in California and around the country on how to talk about race by working in tandem with a vast network of social justice organizations, including organizations focused on issues such as marriage equality, immigrants rights, economic equality, and housing rights.
