About Us
JustLeadershipUSA is dedicated to cutting the US correctional population in half by 2030, while reducing crime. JLUSA empowers people most affected by incarceration to drive policy reform. Mass incarceration is the most significant domestic threat to the fabric of our democracy. The reason for such high incarceration rates is not serious crimes but misguided policies such as mandatory minimums, three-strikes laws and reductions in the availability of parole and other early release mechanisms. Through targeted advocacy, strengthening leadership and membership support, JustLeadershipUSA believes a decarcerated America is possible.
Our Work with SOI
JLUSA founder and President Glenn Martin serves as an advisor to HAL SOI and the organization is a key partner at the national level, shaping the exhibition framework and advising on content development. JLUSA also has leaders in many HAL cities and will work with HAL project partners and venues across the country hosting SOI to recruit local audiences profoundly impacted by incarceration.
