Equal Justice Initiative

The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) is a nonprofit organization based in the United States, founded by attorney Bryan Stevenson in 1989. It focuses on challenging racial and economic injustices in the criminal justice system. EJI provides legal representation to people who have been wrongly convicted, those facing harsh sentences, and individuals on death row. The organization also works to raise awareness about systemic issues like mass incarceration, especially among marginalized communities. Through advocacy, education, and legal assistance, EJI aims to promote fair treatment and dignity for all individuals, regardless of their background.
