Founded in 2018, WCJA is a non-profit organization led by justice-impacted women who launched the #BEYONDrosies campaign to close the Rose M. Singer women’s jail on Rikers Island. WCJA’s work was born directly from the realization that there was a lack of women representation in the #CloseRikers campaign. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, WCJA created the Justice 4 Women Task Force in 2020 to focus on the needs and safety of incarcerated women and those returning to their communities throughout New York State.
