The Institute for Justice and Journalism is dedicated to strengthening journalism about social and economic justice issues by providing trainings, funding story projects and developing digital tools.
We partnered with the Institute for Justice and Journalism to help set up the Chicago Migrahack. That event has had a number of follow-up projects including our continuing partnership with FreeGeekChicago.
Christopher Whitaker, our consultant who helped manage the Migrahack, now serves on the board of IJJ.
