Economic Justice for
women of Color and Marginalized
genders impacted by the
U.s. criminal Justice system
Introducing
J*Crow.org
Black Women and Women of Color pay a disproportionate amount of fees to the U.S. criminal justice system (~60%+). Yet they make up less than 12% of our jail and prison populations.
Our mission at JCrow is to usher in a new era of economic justice for women of color who are justice impacted or involved. We help these women claim their stakeholdership without stigma and strengthen them and their families with financial, legal, entrepreneurial, and workforce resources.
