The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $125,000 to The People’s Lobby Education Institute to support its work on prosecutorial accountability in Chicago. The People’s Lobby Education Institute plans to use this grant to support local organizing to work with Cook County State’s Attorney (SA) Kim Foxx to ensure that her policies are keeping Cook County communities safe without overly relying on jail and prison incarceration. The People’s Lobby Education Institute recently published a report evaluating SA Foxx’s first year in office.
This grant falls under Open Philanthropy's focus on criminal justice reform and is a renewal of an earlier grant.
