Gender JUST firmly believes in community alternatives to hate crimes legislation and opposes all policies which rely on the Prison Industrial Complex, which is inherently racist and heterosexist.  Hate crimes legislation has not been proven to serve as a deterrent for violence, and has only served to fuel state-violence against our communities.  Gender JUST, in collaboration with the Transformative Justice Law Project and the Chicago Dyke March Collective, have been working to put together a forum and a tool kit on community alternatives to hate crimes legislation.
