Home Page - MS Justice Fund In April 2021, a group of local and national funders established the Mississippi Justice Fund (MJF), to support coordinated justice reform in Mississippi.
The mission of the Mississippi Justice Fund is to galvanize collective action through collaborative funding, community engagement, and donor education to fund Mississippi-based organizations advancing youth justice and adult criminal justice reform in Mississippi.

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
