One for Justice 2026 Summit: Preliminary Agenda
Austin, Texas | April 20–23, 2026
We are gathering in Austin with a shared goal: to strengthen our One for Justice community and accelerate the flow of capital toward bold, effective justice reform.
This summit is designed not simply for reflection, but for alignment, collaboration, and action. Together, we will examine what this moment requires of us and explore how we can move resources more strategically, including through collaborative and pooled funding approaches that unlock greater scale and impact.

Why Texas?
Our third annual summit will take place in Austin, Texas, a city that exemplifies innovation and progress in justice reform. Over the past decade, Austin has implemented a range of solutions-oriented initiatives, from improving probation and community-based programs to reducing jail populations through alternative sentencing and diversion efforts.
The city has also led the way in youth justice reform by decentralizing its juvenile justice system and expanding local treatment options.
