Our Vision

For Policing and the Criminal Legal System in England and Wales to be free of racial discrimination and underpinned by equitable laws, policies, and practices.

 The Mission

Through research, engaging in advocacy, launching campaigns, utilising the law, convening public events, delivering training, and providing advice and guidance UNJUST equips people with the knowledge, skills, tools and supportive network to address discrimination confidently.
