UFJ:
The United Families For Justice (UFJ) is a collective of family members from Southern CA who have lost loved ones to police murder and community members who have been personally affected by police brutality, including community-based organizations, organizers, students, teachers, clergy, faith-based leaders, activists, LGBTIQ folks, houseless folks, and so on. We have been meeting since the Winter in response to the massive outcry for justice after Mike Brown, Eric Garner, and Ezell Ford’s families were denied justice.
