    Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $125,000 to the People’s Lobby to support work on prosecutorial accountability in Chicago. This funding is intended to enable the People’s Lobby to support local organizing to ensure Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s policies are keeping communities safe without overly relying on jail and prison incarceration and to continue to set the context for electing and re-electing reform-minded prosecutors.

    This follows our July 2019 support for the People’s Lobby Education Institute and falls within our focus area of criminal justice reform.
