Unite the People is a nonprofit founded in 2014 by a coalition that includes defense lawyers, legal experts, and social advocates to tackle mass incarceration and seek reform of prison and sentencing policies in the United States. A number of staff have loved ones who are or were incarcerated, bringing direct experience with the shortcomings of the criminal justice system. The organization is based in Los Angeles, California, and operates as a small nonprofit.

In 2017, the group began pursuing a statewide ballot initiative in California named The People's Fair Sentencing and Public Safety Act, aimed at reforming the state's three strikes law and permitting early release and resentencing for nonviolent offenders. Its work sits within the nonprofit sector, focusing on advocacy around criminal justice reform and policy change.
