Just Cities Institute

Just Cities Institute advances racial justice in public policy and urban planning through transformative models of participatory and community-based design. We organize collective action with directly impacted residents, government leaders, and newer residents to tackle the big racial justice issues facing Bay Area and California cities including homelessness, displacement, and re-entry justice. We solve social and economic injustice by addressing the root causes of systemic injustice and designing appropriate policy change solutions. Our work is rooted in love-based justice and racial reconciliation principles.
