The Open Philanthropy Project recommended a grant of $85,000 to the Workers Center for Racial Justice to support its work on prosecutorial accountability in Chicago. The Workers Center for Racial Justice plans to use this grant to support local organizing to ensure Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s policies are keeping communities safe without overly relying on jail and prison incarceration.
This discretionary grant follows Open Philanthropy’s June 2018 support and falls within its focus area of criminal justice reform.
