How Tzedek Makes a Difference

Our Mission
We are committed to championing the civil rights of those mistreated by the criminal justice system, empowering individuals to be productive citizens of society, and aiding the less fortunate. We aim to build a world that values reform, compassion and equality.
JUSTICE TRANSCENDS POLITICS
We work with elected officials from both sides of the aisle to advocate for those who deserve a fair chance. Tzedek played a leading role in helping to introduce, pass and sign into law the First Step Act, the boldest criminal justice reform initiative in recent era, as well as other criminal justice reform legislation.
Tzedek also worked with the White House to obtain clemency for dozens of nonviolent offenders who have paid their dues to society. We continue pursuing our mission of providing incarcerated individuals with a road to a better life ahead.
