Ana Zamora • Innovating Public Safety Through Philanthropy Person of The Week

Ana Zamora is the Founder and CEO of The Just Trust – a nonprofit organization that supports criminal justice reform and public safety innovation in the United States. This week, we’re sharing a conversation that Ana had with host Charlotte Alter in March, in which she shares her personal journey into criminal justice reform, spurred by her brother’s experience with the system. The pair delve into the complexities and necessities of bipartisan collaboration in criminal justice reform, discussing how Democrats and Republicans can work together to create meaningful change. They explore the critical role of philanthropic investment in effecting positive change and the innovative strategies in use at The Just Trust and its partner organizations, and the importance of police and community cooperation in solving difficult issues. With insights from her background at the ACLU and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Ana provides a compelling vision for a more just and equitable future and the investment strategy she believes it will take to get there.
