Transformative Justice Coalition

The Transformative Justice Coalition is a nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, formed in 2015 by Renowned Civil Rights Leader Barbara R. Arnwine.

The organization is internationally renowned for contributions on critical justice issues including the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1991 and the 2006 reauthorization of provisions of the Voting Rights Act.

TJC Voting Hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE

The Transformative Justice Coalition (TJC) will team with National Bar Association (NBA) Attorneys and law students who have answered the charge of Charles Hamilton Houston to be social engineers instead of parasites on society. They will staff three (3) Election Protection Command Centers on election day. The Command Centers will be located in Washington DC, Atlanta Georgia and Milwaukee WI. Lawyers, law students and volunteers will help to resolve any address barriers to the vote confronting voters on election day and resolve any issues of voter suppression which are reported in our monitored states. Our considerable thanks for the 100 plus lawyers, students and volunteers who have signed up to make this program a success. Transformative Justice Coalition has secured an additional hotline number to supplement the 866-OUR-VOTE : You may call our hotline at 833-TJC-VOTE (833-852-8683).

What is the Freedom to Vote Act, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, the Native American Voting Rights Act, and the Washington, D.C. Admissions Act?

We need the passage of the Freedom to Vote Act, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, the Native American Voting Rights Act, and the Washington, D.C. Admissions Act!

Rolling Protest Inspires Thousands

The Rolling Protest was launched in response to the authoritarian, racist and backwards policies of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida State Legislature. The policies were aimed to stop the teaching of black history in state funded schools; to stop the implementation and funding of diversity, equity and inclusion principles and programs at postsecondary institutions; to ban books addressing issues of self-appreciation and inclusivity; to attack the rights of the LGBTQIA community; to curb the existence of labor unions; to censor and criminalize teaching in public and private school classrooms; and to limit and destroy the Reproductive Freedom of Women in Florida.
