The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights is a nonprofit organization based in Oakland, California, that seeks to reallocate resources away from punitive criminal justice approaches toward initiatives that improve safety, health, and resilience in communities. It mobilizes Black, Brown, and low-income residents to build power and opportunity, with the aim of ending mass incarceration and challenging the long-standing Framework of Fear in public safety. The center centers its work on transforming the criminal justice system and advancing racial and economic justice so that marginalized communities can thrive. Named for Ella Baker, a civil rights figure who inspired grassroots leadership, the organization emphasizes collective action and capacity-building to strengthen local communities. In 2024, it announced a $2 million donation from MacKenzie Scott's Yield Giving, reflecting a notable recent development in its funding landscape.
