Our Story
“We understand that change comes in many forms, and we are strong proponents of coalition building.”
Austin Justice Coalition (AJC) is a community organization that focuses on improving the quality of life for people who are Black, Brown, and poor. AJC’s strategy continues to create direct and indirect impact in communities of color by influencing changes in local government and advocating for policy reform. This strategy builds on AJC’s experience and knowledge from its work thus far.
As AJC
“Our success in the past has been running through the door that is cracked and breaking it open.”
Our Vision
AJC serves people who are historically and systematically impacted by gentrification, segregation, over policing, a lack of educational and employment opportunities, and other institutional forms of racism in Austin.
Mission
AJC’s mission is to improve the quality of life for people of color by helping them be the driving force behind their own liberation.
