From criminal justice to Human Justice


SCROLL DOWN

From criminal justice to Human Justice


We are the Center for NuLeadership on Human Justice & Healing (CNHJH). Our mission is to shift the paradigm and practice of public safety from criminal justice to Human Justice.

So what is Human Justice, exactly?

Human Justice = Human Rights + Human Development

Human Rights are all the things that people need for healthy and thriving lives. Human Rights include safe and clean housing, equitable access to land and resources, pro-human healthcare, truthful education, and more. 

Human Development is the ability of people to create the social and cultural conditions to flourish free from oppression and to create a world where Human Rights are woven into the fabric of society.

For 20 years, NuLeadership has been community-based, community-focused and community-driven. Our mission is self-determination and liberation for Black, Indigenous, People of Color. We are a driving force in developing a small, but strong ecosystem of people, families, and neighborhoods where everyone learns and practices community care, accountability, forgiveness, and love. 

As many of your know, our founder, Eddie Ellis, had this to say about NuLeadership’s work:

“Prisons and prison populations are a reflection of what takes place outside of the prisons. The direct relationship constitutes the basis by which we propose that there are no prison problems, only community problems. Once we begin to address community problems, prison problems will also be addressed.”

Our goal is Human Justice—to keep people from the policing and punishment systems while simultaneously divesting money from these systems to redirect to community-based, community-driven, human-centered housing, education, business, and justice solutions. Human Justice requires deep relationship-building, individual transformation and community investment, but more importantly, honesty and bravery to dismantle existing systems rooted in punishment and pain. Human Justice requires the confidence and skills to build new muscles and bandwidth to confront our own contradictions and to create the world we want to live in and leave for our children.

This is long-term, hard work. We must organize while we mobilize. Join us as we continue and grow the legacy of resistance, liberation, and collective power. Join us in the journey to achieve Human Justice.
