About Our Coalition
We’re building a fair pretrial system for all Minnesotans, regardless of race, wealth, or where we live. Learn who we are and join the fight to transform Minnesota’s pretrial system.
We are a community-led, research-driven movement.
Our coalition brings together community organizations, survivors, legal experts, researchers, and justice-impacted Minnesotans. Together, we translate research into actionable policy reform.
We share a vision for lasting impact.
Pretrial Justice Minnesota is not a short-term campaign — it’s a long-term effort to end the criminalization of poverty and create a pretrial system that values accountability, freedom, and fairness for all.
Our Vision for Pretrial Justice
A pretrial system based on shared values, not access to wealth
We envision a pretrial system that more accurately accounts for community safety, prioritizes pretrial supports, increases victim and survivor agency, and makes decisions about pretrial release based on community well-being — not cash.
