what is justice power?
Justice Power is a documentation project that partners with immigration advocates, community members, and lawyers in the United States to archive legal empowerment strategies that help immigrant communities to know, use, shape, and transform the laws that impact their lives. This is an evolving documentation project, with new organizations and methods updated as the research continues. Justice Power’s main goal is to educate and raise awareness about the process of legal empowerment.

“When we think about transformation and what that looks like, we know and believe that the people who can transform the system are the people that have been through the system.”

About
The Justice Power network is convened by NYU School of Law’s Bernstein Institute for Human Rights (and formerly with the Global Justice Clinic). The website is part of a long-term documentation project launched in 2018 that makes visible the impacts of legal empowerment programs to advance the rights of asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants in the United States. It is intended to encourage adoption and funding of these strategies, and to connect organizers and organizations. We do not provide direct services. Interested in joining the network and highlighting your legal empowerment strategies, being connected with a featured organization, suggesting resources, or wanting to find out more information?
