Strategic Plan

Over the past three years, Represent Justice has used the power of storytelling to reach millions of people with firsthand stories about the legal system, generating hundreds of thousands of advocacy actions, building out an engaged audience of over 180,000 supporters, and growing the visibility, influence and connectivity of dozens of system-impacted movement leaders.

Through this work, what has become urgently clear is the need for continued growth of narrative infrastructure: equipping system-impacted storytellers with the tools, knowledge, confidence and platforms to strategically reach the right audiences, together — at the right time, in the right places—with firsthand stories that inspire people to act. To act in favor of policy or legislation, but also to act on the belief that their stories matter, and that change is possible.

We are now taking everything we’ve learned and entering a new phase of our work.

We surveyed and interviewed Ambassadors, film participants, organizational partners, board members, and funders. We conducted a series of in-person meetings with staff and convened the board of directors to discuss the legal reform landscape and risk analysis for our organization moving forward. We are deeply grateful to all involved for their thoughtful responses and dedication to helping chart the path forward for Represent Justice.
