Program areas at Essie Justice Group

In 2022, Essie Justice Group provided leadership development and healing justice programming for women with incarcerated loved ones in California and across the country, and conducted community advocacy. Essie Justice Group ran 10 Healing to Advocacy program cohorts, graduating 94 women with incarcerated loved ones from this program. We conducted two leadership development trainings for program facilitators; prepared 23 members to lead a cohort of our Healing to Advocacy program via our Facilitators Training Program; advanced policy goals with lawmakers and worked in partnership with a Los Angeles coalition in local advocacy work; and graduated 40 members from our Campaign School for women to develop their skills and political education related to community organizing. In 2022, we returned to in-person programming for the first time since the pandemic in 2020.
