The Network
Justice Teams Network started in 2018 to build power against systemic State Violence in all its forms. We are a statewide coalition of rapid response organizations across the state of California that will mobilize communities to respond radically to state violence.
Today, we have fourteen member organizations:

The Anti Police-Terror Project began as a project of the ONYX Organizing Committee. We are a Black-led, multi-racial, intergenerational coalition that seeks to build a replicable and sustainable model to eradicate police terror in communities of color. APTP is not a non-profit organization.

Our mission is to build a Black and Brown led abolitionist movement rooted in community power towards the goal of achieving transformative justice and healing justice for all incarcerated people, their families, and communities.
Committee Against Police Brutality San Diego
Our main purpose is to take actions that will relieve the community of the degrading and humiliating harassment, the vicious beatings and abuse, and blatant murder of community members by police, sheriff and border patrol (SD law enforcement). We will independently research and document peoples complaints of police misconduct, investigate police shootings, monitor police activity and organize popular forums in the community, which will reveal the peoples specific needs and concerns, and then take actions that will have positive, long term effects on people’s lives.
We are a statewide Coalition of impacted family members whose loved ones were killed by law enforcement. We came together in 2018 as we organized to PASS CA Senate Bill 1421, the "Right To Know Act." In 2019, we passed AB 392, the CA Act To Save Lives.
