UNJUST CIC

Who we are

UNJUST is committed to tackling systemic racism and discriminatory processes, policy and practices within the criminal legal system.  We work at the intersection of lived experience, research, law, advocacy and community power to expose the root causes of injustice, reimagine equitable systems and bring about transformative outcomes.  

Our work challenges the over-policing, criminalisation and harm disproportionately experienced by Black and racialised communities – and centres the voices of those most impacted as the drivers of change.  

Founded on principles of realism, empathy and collective action, we believe in creating space for truth-telling, accountability and radical hope. Through community-based programmes, participatory research, creative storytelling and strategic campaigning, we aim to shift power, policy and perception. We are proud to be a bold, visionary and values-led organisation working to build a future where justice is truly just. 

Our culture and values

• Realism – grounded in the lived realities of those impacted by systemic injustice. 

• Empathy – listening to and honouring the voices of others. 

• Visionary – daring to imagine and pursue a radically more just future. 

• Activism – inspiring action that leads to change. 

• Collaboration – building together, not in isolation. 

• Trust – showing up with integrity, accountability and respect. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

UNJUST particularly encourages applications from Black and racialised people with lived experience of the over policing, criminalisation or state injustice. We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to promoting principles of inclusion and diversity in our work.  We are open to considering flexible working arrangements, particularly to support parents with childcare or those with other caring responsibilities.
