To address issues of systemic racism in the justice system that negatively impact African Nova Scotians while ensuring fair, legal, and constitutional treatment of all African Nova Scotian community members.

 

ANSJI will serve as a justice-focused organization that is both proactive and reactive in its response to the pervasive institutional racism experienced by people of African descent in their interactions with policing, the courts, prison, and related systems.

 

Taking on legal cases, providing court support, and creating unique legal education opportunities for African Nova Scotians are just a few initiatives planned for ANSJI.
