Justice today.
Justice tomorrow.
Justice forever.
Austin Justice Coalition organizes Black and Brown communities across Austin to build the power, policy, and programs that make liberation possible.
Black-led & founded, serving Austin since 2015Justice today.✳Justice tomorrow.✳Justice forever.
We believe the people closest to injustice are the ones best equipped to end it. AJC organizes, educates, and builds community power so Black and Brown Austinites can lead their own path to equity — in schools, on the streets, at the ballot box, and in every neighborhood we call home.

Four connected areas of advocacy, chosen because they're where inequity in Austin runs deepest — and where organized communities can shift the most power.
Policing & Public Safety
Advocating for police accountability and community-led approaches to safety.
Civic Engagement
Expanding voting access and encouraging community participation in local decisions.
Community Building
