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 transforming the nation's consciousness on race through law, social science, and the arts.

IRS990/Desc0Law and Policy: Challenging Obstacles to Equal Opportunity in Law and Policy. We continue to articulate how implicit bias operates in our society and why the intent doctrine serves as an obstacle to racial justice. We offer trainings and workshops to the legal community sharing cutting edge theories of discrimination law by convening social scientists and legal scholars at our Mind Science conferences. In 2017, we defended equal opportunity programs by filing amicus briefs and intervening through litigation. We are publishing articles and policy reports to bolster constitutional equal protections jurisprudence. We have seen increases in explicit racism and are working to protect and reduce the harm communities are experiencing.

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/Desc0Communications Strategy: Heightening Racial Consciousness in the Media and Public Discourse. We organized and facilitated a number of presentations to advance a national, proactive agenda for equal opportunity. This included presentations at conferences and convenings. Our president, Eva Paterson, continues to be in demand as both a speaker and panelist at local, state, and national conferences and events. She and our staff author numerous articles and blog posts as we remain committed to translating what we are learning from the mind sciences to impact the systems that may not see the harms they are perpetrating on some of our most vulnerable communities. Finally, our communications strategy also employs online multichannel content, carefully selected appearances by Eva, media and messaging support for the legal program, and developing the arts into vehicles for racial justice awareness.
