 Moss Justice Partners (MJP) is a D.C.-based nonprofit advancing community-driven justice through bold ideas and strategic collaboration. We close service gaps for justice-impacted individuals, their families, and frontline practitioners by supporting innovative partnerships and solutions. Our vision is to build safe, inclusive spaces that center marginalized communities.

The Anat Project, a core initiative of MJP, honors the legacy of Dr. Anat Kimchi, a former Criminology student at the University of Maryland who was posthumously awarded her doctorate after her life was tragically cut short in June 2021. The project sparks dialogue and learning about the policies and disparities shaping justice outcomes.
