Mission

Our mission is to shift the paradigm and practice of public safety, justice and accountability from criminal justice to Human Justicean outcomes-driven liberation framework to redirect human resources (social, cultural, financial and political)from punishment-oriented systems and pedagogy to more equitable, sustainable and self-determined solutions. Human Justice is our original framework, launched in 2011. Human Justice = Human Rights + Human DevelopmentWe believe that justice cannot be achieved if the starting point is criminal. We believe that pathways to true safety and accountability is by building community generational wealth and health, together.We aim to shift the paradigm and practice of public safety from criminal justice to Human Justice. In other words, criminal justice puts the focus on things like nicer jails, police trainings, and ending cash bail (among other things). Human Justice focuses on building community generational wealth and health in communities destroyed by

Program accomplishments

  • Village Takeback - is all about system triaging and intervention in order to take back our youth and the Million Dollar Blocks (due to incarceration) in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. We focus hyper-locally to build deep roots of healing, power, organizing seeds. VT provides i) system triage through post-bail out support, arrest diversion organizing at the precinct level and gun diversion programming for eventual dismissal of conviction; ii) community statbilization through guaranteed income and communiversity sessions. Through VT, we provided guaranteed income support of 600/month to 12 families over 6-12 months; provided guaranteed income, housing, childcare, grocery, transportation and phone connection as part of post-bail support and stabilization for 5 people; organized over 10 community village circles and events on the Million Dollar Blocks of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn to listen, survey and build with the residents and system involved youth of Bed-Stuy; we surveyed over 250 bed-stuy community residents about safety, health and community needs and dreams.
    Expenses $414,521
  • NuLegacy - connects New Yorkers of color whose lives have been devastated by incarceration to the regenerative power of nature and land. Right now, through our live-in residency at WILDSEED Community Farm & Healing Village, we provide experiences such as camping, farming training, medicine workshops, healing circles, wellness retreats, reconnection gatherings, creative space for artists, and respite for family members visiting loved ones in upstate prisons. NuLegacy nurtures the skills and provides the experiences necessary for people to live, heal, and thrive in nature and to steward land in healthy and harmonious ways. Through NuLegacy, we organized three first-time exposure and experience gatherings for a total of 160 people from the five boroughs of NYC through our organizational residency with the Wildseed Community Farm which we won in 2021. We also organized 3 camping trips for 6 Brooklyn youth who have never camped before.
    Expenses $353,461
  • Human Justice Lab for Training and Policy (HJLTP)- provides a space for sharing best practices, expertise, tools and access to resources for service providers/educators; system-impacted individuals; and families/caregivers/parents whose children are system-impacted. The training services are designed to provide political education, tools for daily application, and convening everyone in our resource hub, which coordinates referrals and feedback, to ensure continuity and assessment of services provided by the system. A major goal of HJTRL is to fill the gap between vision and mission alignment among activists focused on dismantling the oppressive system; service providers relying on the system for their livelihoods; community members eager for better, community-based alternatives for safety and accountability; and, most importantly, system-impacted people deserving of better from all of us. Through HJLTP, we provided over 35 trainings and workshops for credible messenger organizers, Bed-Stuy residents and youth, system stakeholders from Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice and the Kings County District Attorney's office. Our hallmark project is Communiversity which we launched in late 2021. Communiversity is our engine for educational, emotional and political edquity by locating and generating educational resources, assets (people), and opportunities within our neighborhoods and holding courses that are often only offered through higher education institutions.
    Expenses $326,126
  • The Organization is the fiscal sponsor of the Peoples Bail Out NYC. Peoples Bail Out NYC organizes community bail outs from New York City jails. Each bail out is a radical, collective act of community defense against pretrial jailing on Rikers and the Boat, in Horizons and Crossroads.
    Expenses $259,816 · revenue $4,127
  • The Village Apprenticeship Program (VAP) - is decolonizing workforce development and preparing workers, employers, and communities for a post-COVID world. VAP is building a community care workforce. VAP is a revolutionary training and apprenticeship program that provides workers and employers with the knowledge and skills and resources needed to build a cooperative, equitable, and vibrant village. Through VAP, we matched 10 cohort participants with mostly local and black-owned businesses. We also provided seed investment of ten thousand dollars to three black owned businesses from Brooklyn. 80% of our participants found employment that they are pursuing now as part time and full time employees, a year later. More importantly, we created a village community of people, ideas and innovations that are exploring, experimenting and actualizing what cooperative economics feels and looks like.
