TakeRoot Justice is a legal services organization based in New York City that focuses on partnering with grassroots and community-based groups to advance justice. Originating as the Community Development Project of the Urban Justice Center, it became an independent entity in July 2019 and operates with a democratic, anti-oppressive internal structure. The organization centers community organizing and leadership development, arguing that short-term, individual wins help empower partner groups to influence policies, laws, and systems affecting low-income communities of color, immigrant communities, and others traditionally excluded from policy-making. Its work emphasizes collaboration with neighborhood-based partners to build capacity and power as a pathway to systemic change, supported by a model in which the partners lead priority setting and goals. A recent development includes a collaborative report on humanitarian parole policies affecting Haitian refugees, reflecting its engagement in research and policy analysis alongside advocacy.
