Citizen Action of New York — Criminal Justice Reform (2021)

[Criminal Justice Reform] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $250,000 to Citizen Action of New York to support work on criminal justice reform. Citizen Action intends to use these funds to continue to engage in grassroots organizing and legislative advocacy to decarcerate jails, reform the pretrial system, and advance other reforms to the criminal justice system. This follows our October 2019 support and represents an “exit grant” that will provide Citizen Action of New York with approximately one year of operating support. It falls within our focus area of criminal justice reform.
