Justice Reinvestment Coalition of Alameda County
The Justice Reinvestment Coalition of Alameda County is committed to creating a fair and just public safety system based on effective practices that invest in our communities, our families and our people.
Who We Are
The Justice Reinvestment Coalition of Alameda County (JRC) is comprised of community-based groups committed to reimagining public safety in Alameda County. The JRC activates member organizations to lead initiatives that increase Alameda County’s investments in Black and Brown criminalized communities. JRC partners believe that increasing community investments are urgently needed to end incarceration in Alameda County. The JRC does this by following the leadership of organizations led by Black, Indigenous and People of Color who are directly impacted by incarceration. We fight for an equitable and sustainable system that eliminates criminalization and challenges stakeholders to move away from punitive carceral approaches that fail to remedy the root causes of violence.
What We Do
The Justice Reinvestment Coalition (JRC) will harness its power to end incarceration and to shift investments and policies that can be changed to advantage those communities that have been historically impacted by the justice system. The JRC will be used as a vehicle, lead by directly-impacted communities, to develop strategies within Alameda County. Our strategies are informed by our divestment and reinvestment framework and consensus-building process centered in ending criminalization, incarceration and deportation.
