WIN WITH JUSTICE IS WORKING TO TRANSFORM THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.

Win With Justice, founded by Maya Moore and powered by Athletes for Impact, is rooted in a simple belief: justice should heal, not harm. Dedicated to ending mass incarceration by transforming how justice is understood and practiced, Win With Justice educates the public about the immense power prosecutors hold in the criminal legal system. The initiative pairs public education with empowering programming inside and outside prisons, while amplifying powerful stories of hope, redemption, and healing. Through compelling content and strategic engagement, Win With Justice mobilizes communities and prosecutors alike to action.

Win With Justice works to:

  • Educate the public on the role + power of prosecutors
  • Provide tools for personal empowerment and local engagement
  • Provide programming designed to highlight effective rehabilitation services
  • Tell stories that drive culture shift + policy change

THE RETURN

The Return (produced in partnership between Win With Justice, Christian Community Development Association, and VOICES from Our Daily Bread Ministries) follows Jonathan as he returns to prison to confront the demons of the past; violence, despair and injustice, to inspire the men he left behind at a maximum security prison. Five years after his release, Jonathan brings with him a message of hope and possibility that the stigma of incarceration doesn’t have to define them. He also brings the support system he’s met along the way: his wife, Maya Moore Irons, Grammy award winning artist-activists, Lecrae and Tedashii, and organizations that have come together to support his return to a place of trauma turning it into a temple of triumph.

BACK IN THE GAME

Everyone is born with unique gifts and talents to contribute to the Game of Life, and when we fail to recognize and value every individual, we lose the chance to create the team we’re meant to be on. No life is disposable—our jails and prisons, built on a punitive foundation, should not define people’s worth or potential.

Even during seasons of struggle or setback, everyone has the capacity to recover, grow, and thrive within their community. Back in the Game is dedicated to helping every individual discover their role on our collective team, fostering a society where everyone can contribute and flourish. Back in the Game works to remind us all that we are on the same team working to redefine justice and build a future where everyone has a chance to win.

ABOUT MAYA MOORE

After capturing back to back undefeated national championships in 2009 & 2010 at UCONN and captaining the team that set the NCAA record for most games won in a row (90), Maya was the NCAA Academic All-American of the Year and drafted #1 by the Minnesota Lynx in the 2011 WNBA Draft. As 2011 WNBA Rookie of the Year and an All-Star starter, it was only five months after graduating from college that she helped her team capture the franchise’s first WNBA Championship. That spring she added Euroleague Champion and Spanish League Champion to her resume and in the summer of 2012 she captured Olympic gold with Team USA.

Maya left basketball to help free a man she believed was wrongly convicted.
