Core offering

Californians for Safety and Justice is a nonprofit criminal justice policy advocacy organization that advances alternatives to incarceration through legislative advocacy, grassroots organizing, public education campaigns, and community-based partnerships. It delivers its work through five initiatives — Crime Survivors Speak, TimeDone, Record Expungement, Shared Safety, and Trauma Recovery Centers — all of which are offered free to beneficiaries and supported by charitable donations.

Product overview

Californians for Safety and Justice is a nonprofit advocacy organization that operates as a portfolio of distinct programs/initiatives rather than a unified product platform. The organization encompasses five core initiatives: Crime Survivors Speak (a victims' organization operating 6 chapters statewide), TimeDone (a community of 5,500+ people with old records advocating for record clearance), Record Expungement (SB 731 implementation support), Shared Safety (a blueprint for community-based safety solutions), and Trauma Recovery Centers (community-based violence victim services). These initiatives are complemented by policy advocacy, grassroots organizing, public education campaigns, and research publications. The organization does not offer a technology product but rather delivers social impact programs focused on criminal justice reform.
