About The W. Haywood Burns Institute
The W. Haywood Burns Institute (BI) is a black-led national, non-profit with a diverse team of bold visionaries, working to transform the administration of justice.
Challenging racial hierarchy and the social control of communities of color by the justice sector and other public systems at every corner, BI employs strategies and tactics to establish a community-centered approach to justice administration that is anchored in structural well-being.
An institution committed to innovation, BI actively listens to those closest to the issue at hand. In doing so, the institution develops initiatives as well as hard-hitting narratives that represent real voices that need to be heard.
In addition to adopting a proactive and community-driven approach to its projects, BI also uses data to highlight the current state of ethnic and racial disparities across the US.
The institution's United States of Disparity Tool, for instance, offers a deep dive into specific issues state by state, backed with charts, graphs, and visualizations. A testament to BI's dedication to exposing pressing problems and creating a fairer society for those most marginalized by the system.
Accepting crypto donations offers donors a tax efficient way of supporting the cause while showcasing its commitment to remaining on the cutting edge of the digital age.
