Austin Justice Coalition is a small nonprofit organization based in Austin, Texas, that operates as a grassroots, activist-led group focused on criminal justice reform alongside broader economic and social equity at the local level. Its work centers on identifying community needs, empowering stakeholders, mentoring youth and young adults, and encouraging greater political involvement among minority and underrepresented residents. The organization concentrates its activities within the Austin area as part of the civic and social sector. Recent activities include partnerships with law firms to provide access to legal services, such as a joint MLK Day free legal clinic developed with Tolbert Law Firm and Abundance Law. Earlier initiatives included a 2024 report on the State of Black Austin and, in 2019, a pilot survey of neighborhoods vulnerable to displacement conducted with Huston-Tillotson University.
