Exciting news about the Survivors Justice Project (SJP)! In 2023, Women & Justice Project (WJP) became SJP’s movement home, offering strategic partnership, operational infrastructure, and development support. Our goals were to bolster SJP’s capacity to sustain and expand its critical work in the fight for decarceration through implementation of New York’s groundbreaking sentencing reform law – the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA). Together we have achieved these goals: SJP has grown its program, increased resources, and expanded staff.
As of April 1, 2025, SJP will be its own fiscally-sponsored project with Tides Center. We’re thrilled about this next step in SJP’s journey – one that is particularly meaningful after being part of the Coalition for Women Prisoners’ decade-long DVSJA campaign, and helping to create SJP after the Act’s passage. This next step is one that would not have been possible without WJP and SJP’s wonderful community of supporters. Thank you!
