Alliance for Safety and Justice explained
Alliance for Safety and Justice (ASJ) is an American organization committed to criminal justice reform. The organization focuses on crime reduction and victim support.[1]
History
Alliance for Safety and Justice was co-founded by Lenore Anderson and Robert Rooks.[2] ASJ creates networks of crime survivors and works to shift resources from incarceration to effective alternatives.[3]
The organization focuses on reforms in eight states: Florida, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and California.[4] These states were chosen due to high incarceration rates or their consideration of important legislation.[5] The organization has worked to advocate for the restoration of voting rights to former felons.[4] Anderson serves as the Chief Executive and President of the organization.[6]
