Mission Statement:
The mission of the Grand Jury Resistance Project (GJRP) is to coordinate powerful and effective resistance across the country to the epidemic of governmental political repression waged in the form of grand jury investigations, surveillance, political prosecutions, and collaboration between federal and local agencies to deny basic constitutional rights.
Purpose Statement
The GJRP is a coalition of lawyers, activists, and individuals targeted by government harassment. The efforts of the GJRP include: public education and training, organizing demonstrations, utilizing the media, consolidating current grand jury information, and the development of affirmative legal responses. In addition, the GJRP assists in providing direct support and legal representation for those being politically targeted by grand juries. The GJRP works in the spirit that politically motivated attacks by the government demonstrate that people's movements and direct action are effective and powerful tools against oppression. The GJRP seeks to support people's resistance to intimidation and their continued action against exploitation and for social, environmental, and economic justice.
