The Dream.org Justice program is a bipartisan initiative dedicated to ending the era of mass incarceration by centering the voices of those most directly impacted by the legal system. Through its powerful “Empathy Network,” the program bridges political divides to advocate for common-sense reforms that prioritize healing, safety, and second chances over purely punitive measures. Their work spans from grassroots community organizing to historic federal legislation, such as the First Step Act, which has helped bring tens of thousands of people home from behind bars. By offering leadership cohorts and innovative training, they empower formerly incarcerated individuals to transform from system-impacted survivors into influential policy strategists and advocates. Ultimately, the program strives to build a future where the justice system is defined by dignity, restoration, and the successful reintegration of every individual into their community.
