Who we are.
One for Justice consists of a select group of philanthropists, businessmen, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and other high-net worth individuals interested in reimagining America’s justice system. This community brings together people with different expertise, interests, and backgrounds. What connects them is their shared generosity, curiosity and vision. This is a community for those courageous enough to build a different world.
Shape the future.
At One for Justice, we believe that mass incarceration is one of the most urgent crises facing America today. Our criminal justice system is an albatross around the neck of our entire society. It has a profoundly nefarious effect on our social and economic structure, and tears at the very viability of our democracy. And it constrains other systems, as well, from education to healthcare to housing, while bloating budgets and diminishing our economy. A better future requires a full reimagining.
The time is now.
America is at a crossroads, facing a future that feels wildly unpredictable. But for those brave enough to imagine, create, and fund a new vision of America, that uncertainty is an opportunity. Political shifts, the pandemic, and the climate crisis have led millions of people to think critically about their values, reconsider their priorities, and shift their perspectives. One for Justice gives members the opportunity to seize this moment and shape a better future. The time is now.
