WORKING TOGETHER. SAVING LIVES.

Gen Justice works with local leaders and national partners to create state and federal policies impacting hundreds of thousands of abandoned and abused children.

HOW IT HAPPENS

True change is neither simple nor swift – that’s why we’re here.

Too many American children suffer brutality and death as a result of weak laws or poor compliance with good laws. We believe children should be safely and quickly reunified with family when possible, foster care should be temporary, and adoption, when necessary, should proceed without delay.

OUR MISSION

Gen Justice works to mend the child protection system and bring a permanent end to innocent children enduring violence.

OUR STORY

CEO Darcy Olsen has two decades of success in shaping laws including The Right To Try. But she considers the ten infants she fostered her most important work. After seeing the injustices facing abused kids, Olsen decided she needed to act. She founded Gen Justice in honor of these children including her foster “Baby A” who lived just 56 days.
