The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve the systems of democracy and justice in the United States. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. The Brennan Center’s work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from ending mass incarceration to preserving Constitutional protections in national security policies. Part think-tank, part advocacy group, part cutting edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them – in Congress and the states, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion.
The Brennan Center’s Justice Program aims to present an affirmative vision of what a fairer, more humane, and more effective justice system could look like. We do this work through attempting to change public narratives around crime and public safety; examining and addressing racial and economic inequities; and attempting to improve the conditions of people who work and live in prison to produce better life outcomes, safeguard human rights, and ultimately promote safer communities.
