EJI (Equal Justice Initiative)

The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) is a non-profit organization based in the United States that focuses on fighting systemic injustice in the legal system. Founded by attorney Bryan Stevenson in 1989, EJI provides legal representation to people who have been unfairly treated, especially those on death row or facing harsh sentences. It also works to end mass incarceration, address racial discrimination, and promote awareness of the injustices within the criminal justice system. EJI advocates for reforms and strives to foster a more equitable society by challenging legal injustices and supporting communities affected by wrongful convictions.
