Business, Justice & The Next 250
A Reform Agenda for Safety and Prosperity
DATE - TIME - LOCATION
About the Event
For 250 years, American business has always been one of the most powerful forces shaping our justice system. At its worst, the private sector’s pursuit of short-term profit gave rise to policies that punished people and made reoffending nearly inevitable. At its best, business influence advanced reforms that made the system fairer, communities safer, and the economy stronger.
On this historic anniversary, the question isn't whether that dynamic will continue — it will. The question is on which side of history businesses choose to be going forward.
This Constitution Day [pending actual date], the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice (RBIJ) will convene senior business leaders, policymakers, and public safety voices to make the case for a justice system centered on fairness and opportunity and how the private sector can firmly position itself on the side of reform.
The event will culminate in the launch of RBIJ’s first-ever policy agenda: a series of bipartisan solutions, informed by the business community, for a justice system that delivers true safety and prosperity for all.
This event is made possible by The Just Trust and the Justice & the Next 250 campaign.
