“Community justice project consists of community lawyers. In our legal work we collaborate closely with community organizers and grassroots groups in low-income communities of color because we believe that a more democratic, more just and more equal society can only truly come about through grassroots organizing and social movement. We are a part of that social movement in south florida and strive to support organizing through our varied and often innovative legal work.”

“The team created a program called artist residency program and looked for south florida artists who are passionate about using their art to advance social justice and who seek to accompany the communities that community justice project supports. With this residency program, they hope to find those artists who believe, as we do, that grassroots organizing and social movements are central to social change and we must use the tools we have at our disposal to support them. The ideal candidate will have a passion and willingness to support these movements and will struggle with us to engage and amplify their voices.
