Texas Fair Defense Project

We fight to end the criminalization of poverty in Texas. Through litigation, policy advocacy, and community lawyering we aim to disentangle people and communities from the criminal legal system and hold system actors accountable. As an anti-racist organization, we recognize the criminal legal system systematically targets Black people and other people of color, causing irreperable and intergenerational harm. We are committed to assisting and empowering impacted people and communities, working side by side to dismantle the current system so healthy communities can take hold in its place.
