The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights (EBC) has a three-part mission:
1. to document, expose and challenge human rights abuses in the United States criminal justice system;
2. to build power in communities most harmed by government-sanctioned violence; and
3. to develop and advocate for proactive, community-based solutions to systemic "criminal injustice."
EBC uses a wide variety of tactics to accomplish its mission, including grassroots organizing, direct-action mobilizing, media advocacy, public education, cultural activism, policy reform and legal services.

The American Friends Service Committee is a practical expression of the faith of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Committed to the principles of nonviolence and justice, it seeks in its work and witness to draw on the transforming power of love, human and divine.

Featured issues include: economic justice in the U.S., Iraq campaign, Immigrants Rights, LGBT Rights and Recognition, Paletinian-Israeli Conflict, Toward a New Africa, Trade Matters, and Voter Information.

The Center was created in 1976 to respond to the deplorable conditions in prisons and jails in the South and the United States Supreme Court’s decision that year allowing the resumption of capital punishment. Since its creation, the Center has been engaged in litigation, public education, advocacy, and work with other organization and individuals to protect the civil and human rights of people prosecuted in the criminal courts – particularly those facing the death penalty – and confined in the prisons and jails of the South.
