Responsible for the day-to-day operation of Austin Justice Coalition, which includes managing committees and staff as well as developing business plans in collaboration with the board.

Eight social entrepreneurs from across America who founded mission-driven organizations focused on criminal justice system reform have been selected to be part of the second cohort of the Unlocked Futures initiative. Building on the momentum created by the first group of Unlocked Futures entrepreneurs, the second cohort similarly works to break down barriers to successful reentry into society for millions of people returning from incarceration and to reform the criminal justice system overall.

Over the next 18 months, Chas and the Austin Justice Coalition will provide technical assistance to several cities across the United States in developing and implementing plans for renegotiating police union contracts and reinvesting city dollars in communities. He will also develop a toolkit for organizers working on police reform to leverage the police union contract process and provide training to community members on city budgeting processes.This work helps moves us towards a future in which cities no longer over-invest in policing and under-invest in communities and instead envisions a world in which social services receive the necessary resources to build strong, healthy and safe communities.
