About Our Coalition
We’re building a fair pretrial system for all Minnesotans, regardless of race, wealth, or where we live. Learn more and join the fight to transform Minnesota’s pretrial system.
We are a community-led, research-driven movement.
Our coalition brings together community organizations, victims and 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.
We are working toward a pretrial system based on shared values, not access to wealth
This reimagined system would more accurately account for community safety and stability, prioritizes pretrial supports, increases victim and survivor agency, and makes decisions about pretrial release based on community well-being — not cash.
