The Justice Committee, established in 1984, is a dedicated organization in Jackson Heights, NY, committed to fighting for the liberation of the people and ending police violence and systemic racism. With almost 40 years of experience, they provide support to families of New Yorkers murdered by the NYPD and survivors of police violence, helping them navigate the legal system, find answers, and fight for accountability.
Through their Families Organizing Program, they empower families to develop and launch campaigns for systemic change, while also offering rapid response, case support, and campaign support to survivors and other New Yorkers. Additionally, their Community Defense initiative organizes communities of color to co-create alternative safety measures, advocating for divestment from the NYPD and investment in communities. The Justice Committee relies on the support of their community to continue their work towards building safe, healthy, and powerful communities.
