Praxis trains our partner organizations and provides research, technical assistance and financial support to tackle issues impacting the well being of communities.
In recent years, national and local policymaking has focused on the punishment and surveillance of individuals – disproportionately affecting the poor, the disenfranchised and people of color.
To counter discriminatory and punitive measures, Praxis works with local organizations to shift policy decisions toward solutions that confront the root causes of community problems while holding corporations and other institutions accountable for their role in causing these problems.
Our priority at Praxis is to form partnerships with organizations whose constituents are disproportionately affected by social ills and to help erase the nation’s health-justice gap.
