Equal Justice USA will fully wind down operations by August 15 after losing over $3 million in federal funding due to the cancellation of grants aimed at gun violence prevention and victim advocacy. The cancellation caused distress among community violence intervention (CVI) programs, leading to layoffs for justice-impacted individuals in particular. EJUSA attempted to narrow its focus prior to the cuts but ultimately decided to cease operations. These funding changes compounded challenges that grassroots organizations faced in securing federal support for their initiatives.
