Goal
It is time to demand justice in South Carolina. Our jails and prisons are dangerous and inhumane, our police officers use excessive force with impunity, and the citizens who try to take a stand are met with hostility and violence. Yet despite these problems, there are very few attorneys in South Carolina (and even fewer law firms and organizations) that are dedicated to fighting against these forces and seeking justice for victims of state violence.
South Carolina Justice Project was started to combat these conditions. Our mission is to zealously seek justice for victims of state violence and to provide training, tools, and support for other attorneys that want to join the fight. Our goal is to trigger a sea change in South Carolina--to raise up an army of highly trained and highly motivated attorneys that are willing to stand up for our poor, vulnerable and marginalized citizens. Our hope is that this sea change will exert enough pressure on the system that it will be forced to change for the better.
Without your help, this work cannot be done. Your support translates to attorneys for those that need help the most, and means justice and accountability for individuals and agencies that abuse their sacred oath to serve and protect. Partner with us to pressure the system to be better.
