About Justice Beyond PunishmenT
The Justice Beyond Punishment Campaign is a narrative and culture change campaign led by more than 10 organizations in New York state 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.
