OUR TEAM
We founded Just Streets to bring justice to our communities. Across the United States, civil and criminal law converge to criminalize poverty. The current system affords police the legal ability to harass our most vulnerable, and the discretion to do so with a racial bent. We believe the Greater Boston Area is a microcosm of these bad laws. Just Streets was formed to fight these laws, and exists at the intersection of policy and protest.
