With cases across the United States, in just 3 short years and with almost no funding, JULIAN has changed lives.
- 1.
After 17 months, JULIAN succeeded in getting the U.S. Department of Justice to open a patterns and practices investigation into the City of Lexington, Mississippi, and its police department.
- 2.
JULIAN has brought the continuation of lynchings in America to national attention.
- 3.
JULIAN’s organizing led other Mississippi towns to reform their police forces and fire corrupt officers.
- 4.
JULIAN convened Obama administration policy analysts to create a civil rights policy agenda, and many of those policies have been adopted by the Biden administration.
- 5.
JULIAN is organizing in all 82 Mississippi counties, and we will expand to every county of the nation.
- 6.
JULIAN has investigated and solved modern-day lynchings, winning an $11 million dollar judgment against lynchers—the first modern-day lynching judgment in Mississippi history.
- 7.
JULIAN has forced the firing of several corrupt Lexington, Mississippi, police officers, including its racist police chief after we obtained and leaked audio of him saying the N-word, admitting to killing 13 people, and informing another officer that he would cover for them if they killed someone in “cold blood.”
See our “How to Be A Superhero” page to claim your cape and put that “S” on your chest. Yet, true impact is not just the past, it’s the future. It’s you.
However, most of JULIAN’s impact is not tangible and cannot be summarized in brief lines. We believe that impact is measured in lives across the world, and those stories, which don’t belong to anyone but the impacted person, are theirs to tell.
