PHOENIX, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A More Just America, a new 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to restorative justice and prioritizing the welfare and safety of vulnerable communities and military veterans within the criminal justice system, officially launched earlier this month. Founded by a former U.S. Army sniper and fully staffed by formerly incarcerated individuals, they advocate for policies that ensure equity and fairness in all communities regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, political ideology, or socio-economic status. They proudly announced their launch at an event organized in partnership with Dream.Org, Arizonans For Transparency and Accountability in Corrections (ATAC), Steven George Law, FAMM, and the American Conservative Union (ACU), among others.

Key Points: 
  • Improving such a wholly failing criminal justice system requires severing criminal justice policies from partisan politics while working to build a cooperative, collaborative, and balanced approach.
  • It belongs to all of us" said Founder of A More Just America Chris Stevens.
  • Through grassroots organizing, advocacy campaigns, public demonstrations, and collaboration with other organizations, A More Just America strives to mobilize communities and generate public support for reform.
  • Led by people who have lived experience inside the criminal justice system, A More Just America believes the system can ensure accountability for wrongdoing and enhance safety through a balance between proactive crime prevention and rehabilitation.
