Transformative justice coalition

Founded by Barbara Arnwine the former President and CEO of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law, the Transformative Justice Coalition seeks to be a catalyst for transformative institutional changes that bring about justice and equality in the United States and abroad.

OUR MISSION

Systematic change that achieves racial justice, gender, economic and social justice and human right through public education and engagement initiatives that attend equally to hearts and minds as well as the social systems and structures in which they exist.

 

WHO IS THE VRA?

On April 21, 2016, nine members of Congress, two hundred activists and Congressional staff gathered for a historic Congressional briefing on the most pressing issues of 2016; voter suppression and manipulation of US elections.


From that briefing, the new Congressional Voting Rights Caucus was formed, and the Voting Rights Alliance soon followed.

The Voting Rights Alliance is a growing network of organizations, activists, and legislators working to restore and protect voting rights from concerted attacks that undermine our access to the polls, and to have our votes fairly counted.
