Vision: “A just, compassionate, and thriving community for all.”
Mission: “To organize diverse people to build and use their people power to solve community problems.”
We engage in listening, research, direct action and follow up to solve problems at their roots. We take on problems like the affordable housing crisis, needs in our mental health care system, problems facing our schools, inadequate public transportation and community gun violence.
Every spring Justice Knox organizes the largest public meeting in the community. The goal of this assembly is to get public officials to commit to concrete actions to solve some of the worst problems plaguing Knox County. On April 13, 2026, 1,650 Justice Knox leaders gathered at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium alongside city and county officials and county mayoral candidates. That night we acknowledged the city and the county for following through on last year's commitments to develop new affordable homes, including tiny homes for veterans moving out of homelessness. We also received a commitment from the city to continue working with us to implement micro-transit and fill transportation gaps for our Knoxville neighbors. In 2027, we'll pack the auditorium again to bring more justice to our community. Follow this page for the announcement of the date!
