The Justice Beyond Punishment Campaign

The Justice Beyond Punishment Campaign is dedicated to strengthening our movements' efforts for narrative change around violence, punishment, safety, and justice. Centering the leadership of directly impacted people and addressing the fundamental racism in the current narratives, JBPC is working to end state violence and the reliance on punishment, criminalization, and incarceration as the primary responses to interpersonal violence, and to advance more just and effective approaches to safety and justice. Our objectives are to build power and solidarity around shared and cooperative understandings, messages, and efforts, and to develop tools and resources for those active in the movements to end mass incarceration and carceral punishment. Together, we are building powerful narratives towards justice beyond punishment. 

Our Pillars

Learn about what guides our work and why we believe everyone should fight for justice beyond punishment

  • Mass incarceration and carceral punishment are forms of violence, often referred to as state violence

  • Mass incarceration and carceral punishment do not make us safer or prevent interpersonal violence. Instead, they promote interpersonal violence

  • We need to invest, grow, and elevate community specific and community based approaches to address interpersonal violence that prioritize safety, healing, and accountability
