Rising for Justice welcomed Jasmin Mize as Director of the Criminal Record Sealing and Respondent Representation Programs.

At Rising for Justice, we believe everyone deserves justice—today, tomorrow and always. But we recognize the justice system is overburdened, underfunded, and simply inaccessible for too many. We believe together we can do better. • To prevent injustices today, we represent individuals who are in grave legal jeopardy. • To build a better tomorrow, we teach law students to be life-long advocates for justice. • To ensure justice always, we innovate sustainable solutions to problems of justice and equity. Our compendium of programs create economic stability, keep families in homes, increase health outcomes and employment rates, and ensure that equal justice applies to all regardless of income. Since our founding in 1969, we have protected the rights of more than 250,000 District of Columbia residents and trained almost 5,000 social justice advocates.
