Start Your Own Justice Coalition

Our Process

1. 1Announce your first virtual gathering and set a date a few months out
2. 2Build an email list of people interested in local justice work
3. 3Launch and maintain a rhythm of meeting virtually (twice-monthly) and in-person for summits (quarterly)
4. 4Adapt to meet local needs — every coalition looks different
