SCSJ works to ensure fair enforcement of the law regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, gender identity, affilation, and other protected criteria. We work against racial profiling, police brutality, and other abuses of the criminal justice system, and to end programs that violate human rights, such as 287g and juvenile life without parole.

We also work with communities and advocates to develop innovative and grassroots ways to address conflict and create safer and more peaceful spaces. We hope this work allows communities to improve their security and well-being without using policing and law enforcement solutions.
