Participatory Defense

Participatory Defense Hubs exist in more than two dozen cities with great success and better sentencing outcomes. Every hub holds meetings to support individuals facing charges in the system and their families in the process. But the goal is even bigger. Participatory Defense engages in campaigns to transform the criminal justice system. All organizations below have been trained in the principles and tools of participatory defense, and are all part of the National Participatory Defense Network. Find out more by clicking on the respective hubs.
