About Californians for Safety and Justice
Californians for Safety and Justice, a project of the Tides Center, is a nonprofit campaign of Californians from all walks of life joining together to replace prison and justice system waste with common sense solutions that create safe neighborhoods and save public dollars. Through policy advocacy, public education, partnerships and support for local best
practices, Californians for Safety and Justice promotes effective criminal justice strategies to stop the cycle of crime and build healthy communities. We are bringing together crime victims, business and community leaders, policymakers, law enforcement, health professionals, educators and crime-prevention experts to replace costly, old ways of doing business with new justice priorities that improve public safety without draining resources from our schools, hospitals and other community needs. Californians for Safety and Justice is generously supported by a group of philanthropic foundations dedicated to improving California’s criminal justice system. Donors include the Ford Foundation, Fund for Nonviolence, Open Society Foundations, Rosenberg Foundation, and The California Endowment.
