Forward Justice is a law, policy, and strategy center focused on advancing racial, social, and economic justice in the U.S. South. Based in Durham, North Carolina, the organization operates as a strategic partner for nonprofit organizations, coalitions, and networks at the forefront of movements seeking a more just, equitable, and free South. Through its work, it aims to catalyze progress for social movements and broaden democratic opportunities for people affected by injustice, with victories contributing to broader national change. With a footprint in the public policy space, Forward Justice is a small to mid-sized organization that supports advocacy and policy work for its partners.
