In less than a month, prosecutor races will happen in Michigan’s two most populated counties: Oakland and Wayne. Both races are hotly contested and the winners will shape the local criminal justice landscape for the next four years.

Advancement Project National Office’s Justice Project proudly supports grassroots movements in communities of color that challenge racial criminalization and attack all aspects of the criminal legal system. We help local campaigns seeking not simply to reform, but to wholly dismantle systems that criminalize and incarcerate people of color in the name of “law and order.” We aim to help impacted communities define the terms and control the means by which safety is realized in their streets and neighborhoods and to re-imagine for themselves how “safety” is pursued.
