About AJC
Our Vision
Austin Justice Coalition’s vision is to create a just and equitable society where historically marginalized communities have the resources, opportunities, and power to thrive. They work to dismantle systemic barriers in areas such as criminal justice, education, housing, and economic mobility, ensuring that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are no longer disproportionately affected by injustice.
“We understand that change comes in many forms, and we are strong proponents of coalition building.”
