The Justice Committee is a grassroots organization seeking to create a movement against police brutality and structural racism in New York City, specifically in empowering communities of color. Emphasizing the power of a cohesive community, the Justice Committee aims to bring together families and communities across generations and to foster solidarity with other organizations with similar visions. 

In 2019, with funding from the Martín-Baró Fund, the Justice Committee organized skill-building training and political education workshops on the topics of power and oppression, community organizing, and campaign development. The Justice Committee also conducted one-on-one media training for community leaders as well as one-on-one social media training. Over a retreat weekend, the Justice Committee developed a Rapid Response System to streamline reactions to the aftermath of police violence. 

Upcoming projects in 2020 include a Leadership Development and Organizing Skill-Building Trainings for Families Who’ve Lost Loved Ones to the Police and an increase in one-on-one skills-building with family leaders. The Justice Committee also seeks to activate the Rapid Response system to address police violence and continue to provide support for families affected by such, and increase their network of attorneys and legal aid. Regarding the current health crisis, the Justice Committee will also devote time to Emotional Release and Healing through checking in with community members and directing them to resources. Due to the current pandemic, the Justice Committee has converted their meetings to online and will continue their work remotely.
