Equal Justice Initiative
The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) is a nonprofit organization based in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated to addressing issues of injustice in the American legal system. Founded by Bryan Stevenson in 1989, EJI focuses on providing legal representation to individuals who have been unfairly treated, particularly those on death row or facing harsh sentences due to systemic inequalities.
EJI also works to raise awareness about the impact of mass incarceration and racial discrimination. Through education, advocacy, and community outreach, the organization aims to promote reforms that ensure fair treatment for all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances.
