African American Juvenile Justice Project

​

​Over the last 50 years, almost 30 million Black babies were aborted in the United States.  AAJJP supports the Dobbs decision, which repeals abortions.  

Founded in 2007, the African American Juvenile Justice Project is a program that focuses on community accountability and responsibility, youth leadership and legislative initiatives for juvenile justice transformation. ​AAJJP recognizes that Black children in America leak or SEEP (Systemic. Endemic. Epidemic. Pandemic) through holes of racism, sexism, classism and capitalism. 

The mission of the African American Juvenile Justice Project (AAJJP) is to provide programs and services for social justice, which engage the African American community, the school system, and the child welfare and juvenile justice system. AAJJP works to improve juveniles' HEMS [Healthcare, Housing, Education, Employment, Maintenance and Support Services], which are adversely impacted by the poverty, school dropout and prison pipelines.

​

AAJJP developed a unique and one-of-a-kind system to address the needs of children by using the home, school, and community model.  We call it the Power of the Ps, which includes Parents, Pastors, Principals, Psychologist, Physicians, Pharmaceutical, Politicians, Press, Police, Prosecutors and Prison.  Each of these Ps are directly or indirectly responsible for the lives of African American children.  

​

​While we are a race-specific program, we encourage participation from all persons (allies) of concern and we will assist other groups in need of race specific programs and services.  We are nonpartisan and nonsectarian, because the fight to end the inherent harms and oppression of race and class leading to discrimination and disparity knows no political or religious boundaries.  We are a self-funded platform.
