Overview
Mission
412 justice is a multiracial, intergenerational, and multi-issue organization that focuses our efforts around economic, environmental, and education justice. We build deep trust and collaboration with impacted people by creating an inclusive safe space to learn, ask questions, and use our voice to promote strong, healthy communities and corporate accountability through the redistribution of wealth, power, and resources.
What it reported doing in 2024

Our economic justice campaign focuses on community development, holding decision makers accountable and demanding underserved neighborhoods have a voice in meaningful change.our environmental justice campaign focuses on ensuring that disinvested communities have access to a clean and healthy environment with resources within their community. This includes but is not limited to: reducing air pollution , eliminating lead out of water, transitioning from industrial to green jobs, and increasing access to healthy resources like fresh food or local health facilities.our education campaign is focused on community schools, solutions not suspension, police free schools, counselors not cops, ending school privatization, school funding and disability justice.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
