Look2Justice

Grassroots organization operating on an inside-out organizing model--we are led by currently incarcerated organizers working in concert with outside organizers.

[Look2Justice @Look2Justice]

✊ Look2Justice is a grassroots organization of system-impacted organizers and researchers who work to cultivate justice, fairness, and accountability in Washington State’s criminal legal system through civic education and empowerment. And we believe justice demands more.
