As we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, we recognize that Latino voices are often left out of the gun violence prevention conversation. This month, we honor the contributions of Latino leaders and advocates working tirelessly for justice and equity.

EJUSA's mission is to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma.
About us
Equal Justice USA (EJUSA) is a national organization working to transform the justice system to one that heals and restores lives. We imagine a justice system that is the solution instead of the problem, and we believe that we won’t get there solely by dismantling the parts of our justice system that are broken. We must also strengthen and scale the elements that work and build the system we want in its place: one that prevents violence, heals trauma, helps people harmed by crime to rebuild their lives, creates genuine accountability instead of mass incarceration, and treats everyone fairly and equitably in the process. Our work includes ending the death penalty, strengthening programs that help crime survivors address trauma and rebuild their lives, and promoting trauma-informed responses to violence that can save lives and help heal communities. We partner with state and local organizations to provide grassroots leaders with the training, leadership development, and support they need to win campaigns and have lasting impact.

What is astonishing about today’s decision is that THE PROSECUTOR moved to vacate the death sentence of Marcellus “Khaliifah” Williams. This is so rare—a prosecutor asking to overturn their office’s efforts. And the judge refused. Grave injustice.
