Who is WCJA?
The Women’s Community Justice Association (WCJA) is a non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of women and gender-expansive New Yorkers affected by mass incarceration. Founded in 2018, WCJA is led by justice-impacted women and focuses on change through policy advocacy, community organizing and service. WCJA leads the #BEYONDrosies campaign and the Justice 4 Women Task Force.
#BEYONDrosies Campaign
#BEYONDrosies advocates for the women and gender-expansive people at the Rose M. Singer Center (Rosie's) on Rikers Island. Our goals are to:
- Decarcerate as many as we can from Rosie's.
- Close Rosie's before the city's 2027 timeline.
