Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Austin Justice Coalition educates, organizes, and empowers communities in Austin to build racial equity and dismantle systems of oppression through advocacy, policy change, and community programs.

Activities or mission (Part I)

In 2024, the Austin Justice Coalition advanced its mission to educate and build community power for racial equity and justice by operating programs that support directly impacted individuals, strengthen community leadership, and expand civic participation. The organization reached hundreds of community members across Austin and beyond through initiatives addressing advocacy, reentry support, cultural expression, and voter access.

  • Project Orange: In 2024, the organization advanced voter access through Project Orange, a civic engagement initiative serving individuals incarcerated pre-trial who remain eligible to vote. AJC distributed 384 voter registration forms, resulting in 334 completed registrations, ensuring that eligible community members awaiting trial were informed of their rights and supported in exercising civic participation. Justice Access Support Initiative (JASI): In 2024, the organization supported individuals impacted by the justice system by facilitating access to affordable legal representation. Through a local law firm partnership, AJC connected four community members to attorneys who provided services at a discounted rate, increasing access to legal advocacy despite financial barriers. Radical Advocates Academy (RAA): In 2024, the organization conducted two online cohorts of the Radical Advocates Academy, providing intensive training for 20 emerging community leaders. Participants engaged in policy advocacy, organizing, and public speaking workshops, with several graduates advancing into leadership roles on local boards, organizations, and advocacy coalitions. Bro Brunch: In 2024, the organization hosted two Bro Brunch gatherings, engaging over 200 Black men and boys in discussions on mental health, mentorship, and community leadership. Each event featured speakers, peer dialogue, and access to local resources, strengthening social support networks and fostering resilience. Black Art Matters: In 2024, the organization continued operating the Black Art Matters program, though on a smaller scale than in prior years. Instead of hosting a large annual event, AJC supported local Black artists by providing opportunities to showcase their work and engage community members through smaller gatherings and collaborations. The program remained focused on uplifting Black cultural contributions and creating paid opportunities for artists. Crisis Relief (Mutual Aid Program): In 2024, the organization provided direct crisis relief support to 26 individuals, distributing $34,466 to assist with rental payments, childcare, groceries, medical bills, and other urgent needs. This program reduced financial hardship for community members and promoted stability by addressing immediate and essential expenses.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
