The mission of Circle for Justice Innovations (CJI) is to end mass criminalization and incarceration in the United States. CJI’s Until She’s Free Fund supports grassroots organizations led by and working to end the criminalization and incarceration of women, girls, and gender-expansive people in the United States.
The current request for proposals seeks to support efforts including, but not limited to, ending the abuse-to-prison pipeline; organizing to demand an end to the routine separation of families, including through incarceration or immigrant detention; organizing to support reproductive justice, especially ending the criminalization of people who exercise their reproductive rights and those that support them; decriminalizing drug use and providing appropriate programs and treatment; and transformatively changing systems of supervision for people with convictions.
Supported organizations must include the leadership of currently and formerly incarcerated women, girls, trans, and gender expansive people and demonstrate commitment to achieving fundamental system change through mobilizing and organizing.
