Georgia Justice Project (GJP) strengthens our community by demonstrating a better way to represent and support individuals in the criminal justice system and reduce barriers to reentry. GJP promotes innovative change through direct legal representation, policy advocacy, education and coalition building. GJP has served low income people in Georgia who have been affected by the criminal justice system for over 35 years. GJP’s range of direct services include holistic criminal defense paired with social service support, as well as representation for criminal records issues, all provided free of charge. GJP travels statewide to educate individuals and service providers on criminal records issues, and has helped to pass 20 Georgia laws through advocacy efforts. GJP works to remove barriers to employment, housing, and other opportunities faced by those with a criminal record.
