transformative justice coalition
Advancing Justice. Empowering Voters. Strengthening Democracy.
Statement from TJC Co-Leaders
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a grievously wrongheaded decision which undermines the hard fought protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This decision will embolden state legislatures to adopt Redistricting maps that will diminish Black voting power. We will not sit idly by as our democracy suffers a thousand cuts of anti-inclusion.
We must respond to this court’s decision. TJC calls on all pro-democracy loving people to organize locally, statewide, and nationally, to support the federal passage of the Freedom To Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. We also encourage the passage of state voting rights acts to protect voters of color and other marginalized voters
OUR ORIGIN AND PATH
Born in 2015 from a necessity for systemic change, the Transformative Justice Coalition (TJC) emerged as a national beacon for racial equity and the preservation of democracy. Our journey began with a clear mandate: to dismantle the structural barriers that silence underserved voices and to fortify the fundamental right to vote.
As we have evolved, our path has been defined by the synergy of high-level policy advocacy and boots-on-the-ground organizing. We don’t just witness history; we shape it by operating at the critical intersection where legislative strategy meets community power.
Today, our trajectory is fueled by a commitment to the next generation. By cultivating strategic partnerships and launching nationwide mobilizations, we serve as a finishing school for activism. We are dedicated to equipping Gen Z and Young Millennials with the sophisticated tools and strategic knowledge required to transform from concerned citizens into the premier architects of a more just and inclusive future.
