Equal Justice Now is a non-profit social welfare organization focused on common sense police reform, ending systemic racism, and preventing voter suppression. The organization presents awards to honor notable public figures whose efforts serve to advance the cause of equality, ensure justice, and protect the civil rights of all Americans.

Benjamin Crump‘s documentary premiered on Netflix last week, the civil rights attorney stated to Eurweb; “There’s a documentary coming out at Netflix, they followed me for the past two years. What it really demonstrates is we can have a new future of justice where brothers and sisters won’t be marginalized and that’s what Equal Justice Now is about. Trying to say that the constitutional promise is for every American whether Black, brown, red or white. Every American matters.”
