Represent Justice 2026 Impact Campaign Open Call - Apply by Nov. 16th

We’re inviting justice-centered projects that are meaningfully led by system-impacted individuals to join us and take their story beyond the screen and into communities across the country. We are working to create system-changing impact through the power of film and authentic storytelling.

Since 2019, Represent Justice has led campaigns for eight films that address issues in the criminal justice system. Our impact campaigns are centered around building capacity and narrative power for currently and formerly incarcerated film participants, who play a leading role in each campaign. We provide services to participants throughout the campaign from mental health support, to public speaking training, to hands-on support for their creation of campaign material collateral.

Represent Justice has built campaigns alongside films like Kemba, Songs From The Hole and The Strike, bringing together system-impacted storytellers, policymakers, and audiences to drive real-world impact—from changing hearts and minds to advancing reforms across the justice system.

To continue this momentum, we are accepting applications for our 2026 Impact Campaign Open Call through November 16, 2025.
