The purpose of the Justice Network of Tarrant County is to take actions aimed at reducing the structural barriers
to a more just, fair and equitable world for all persons in Tarrant County.
The Justice Network of Tarrant County kicked off February 26, 2023 at a gathering of about 70 like-minded people representing about 20 different organizations, mostly faith based, but not entirely. As we explored what doing justice work together might look like, we shared our common goals, frustrations, and dreams.
The energy in the room coalesced around a decision to amplify our voices for justice by coming together in a network. We organized ourselves and immediately began publishing an online action-focused newsletter, which, as of June 2024 has grown to a distribution of 380.
Several of our actions have already caught the attention of the press (see our JNTC in the News page).
We established these Action Teams or working groups:
And we have now added a JUVENILE JUSTICE action team.
Our Action Teams focus on these types of initiatives:
Rapid responses to critical, time-sensitive issues
Consistent responses to chronic, policy-driven problems
Education, both for our own membership and for the public at large
