Just City was founded in 2015 by a group of activists, attorneys, and civic leaders who saw the need for a powerful, independent voice to support the individuals, children, and families who are, or have been in contact with, the criminal justice system in the Mid-South. They advocate for strong, consistent adult and children's right to counsel policies and accelerate community-driven solutions to the problems presented by the criminal justice system.
