Creative Justice is a United States-based startup founded in 2017 with a mission to address the school-to-prison pipeline and system oppressions through art. The company's slogan "CJ builds with youth impacted by the school-to-prison-pipeline through art that shows the power & potential of community" encapsulates its core ethos. Through its programs, Creative Justice aims to create a new vision for healing, accountability, and community safety by engaging with the youth most affected by the pipeline and other oppressive systems.
The organization utilizes art as a tool to examine the root causes of incarceration and harmful conditions, enabling the creation of meaningful artwork that articulates the power and potential of communities. Instead of locking away young individuals, Creative Justice advocates for the provision of care within their home communities. The startup's approach is to amplify the voices of young people and promote healing, accountability, safety, and transformation through art.
Notably, Creative Justice secured a significant $50.00K grant investment from Raliance on 18 January 2024, underscoring investor confidence in the startup's mission and potential impact in addressing societal challenges.
