About Just Future Project

We are people from diverse backgrounds, professions, and regions who are united by a passion for abolishing these deeply unjust and un-American laws. We do not discriminate against anyone, including discrimination based on historical convictions. We believe everyone is actually innocent of imaginary future crimes. Just Future Project is a new initiative with a long history. We trace our roots to the Civil Commitment Conference Call organized by Charlie Sullivan, president of Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants (CURE). Many efforts in the movement to end mass incarceration owe their spark to Charlie’s tireless leadership over more than four decades. The conference calls began because Charlie believes in the leadership of the people directly harmed by these systems – leaders he affectionately calls “jailhouse lawyers” – and the phone calls allowed these critical minds to come together and collaborate. Just Future Project is the natural evolution of these early conference calls. Our website is designed to intensify the conversation focused on dismantling pre-crime preventative detention schemes. We seek to foster a community around this conversation, and develop that community into a politically relevant constituency empowered to demand change. Our movement is growing. We are expanding to create a focal point online for advocacy energy and to bring people together under a common banner. We can only accomplish so much on monthly conference calls. This is the next step. Many of us come to this cause because we are personally connected to someone who is directly impacted by these laws (i.e. friends, family, loved ones). A growing number of us are allies who feel called to this movement by our values (i.e. civil rights advocates, faith communities, formerly incarcerated activists, psychiatrists, criminal justice reform experts, lawyers, lawmakers, social workers, clergy, academics, etc.).
