Chicago Appleseed Fund For Justice

Chicago Appleseed Center for Fair Courts is a volunteer-led non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for fair, accessible, and anti-racist courts in Chicago, Cook County, and across Illinois. Through community-informed research and various advocacy initiatives, the organization aims to interrupt cycles of poverty, mass incarceration, and racial injustice within the legal system.

With core values centered on accessibility, accountability, transparency, equity, and community autonomy, Chicago Appleseed conducts both qualitative and quantitative research in areas such as civil and criminal courts, and police accountability. Their community engagement efforts include policy advocacy, civics education, and a Court Observation and Education Program, which empowers volunteers to promote judicial accountability and enhance understanding of the judicial process.
