Hear from our Executive Director, Nancy A. Parker, and other team members about the Detroit Justice Center and why members of our team are committed to this work. Shot by 888 Creative, this video aims to introduce you to DJC.
DJC is founded on the belief that we cannot build cities that work for everyone without remedying the impacts of mass incarceration. This mission requires innovative ways of community lawyering—rooted in defensive and offensive fights for racial justice and economic equity—that build up our poorest residents through direct services and novel approaches to land use, housing, and employment. We use a three-pronged approach—what we call “defense, offense, and dreaming”—to serve individual clients, build power, and catalyze systemic solutions.
