About Us
We ask that you Fight with us to achieve Justice Equality and Fair Policies for ALL.
Equal Justice Matters was conceived out of a desire to proactively educate the youth, families, community leaders, and policymakers about the unequal treatment of marginalized Blacks, Whites, and People of Color within the American Criminal Justice System. We aim to teach people how to avoid becoming a casualty of the failed War on Drugs or becoming entangled in the unjust system in general.
Help us advocate for Equal Education, Job Training, Fair Employment, Mental, and Health Care, and Affordable Housing for All. We ask for your support to advocate ensuring people have hope, equity, meaningful resources and equality so that they may avoid despair, hate, poverty, gangs, violence, illiteracy, drugs, and crime.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
PROACTIVE JUSTICE REFORM
Our vision is to work with You, Business leaders, Community advocates, Celebrities, Parents, Sport figures, Students, Corporations, and Politicians to purchase or build a city, town, or community where kids can be supported with safety, compassion and understanding and be able to easily learn life skills. Kids will learn how to hold meaningful conversations, learn to read; a measuring tape instead of a drug scale; use a power tool instead of a gun; draw blood instead of injecting or ingesting an illegal drug; debate, argue and fight a court case, instead of arguing, fighting and ending up in criminal court.
