A key figure in the progressive prosecution movement is embroiled in controversy, threatening the integrity of the agenda she once championed.
Story Highlights
- Miriam Krinsky resigns from Fair and Just Prosecution amid racism allegations.
- Internal accusations contrast with the organization’s public anti-racism stance.
- Leadership transition poses challenges for FJP’s reform agenda.
- Broader implications for Soros-backed progressive initiatives.
Resignation Amid Controversy
In September 2024, Miriam Krinsky, the founder of Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP), resigned after facing allegations of racism from her staff. Initially, her resignation was attributed to personal reasons, but leaked internal communications revealed accusations of racial insensitivity. Krinsky’s exit marks a significant turning point for FJP, an organization heavily funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations.
Impact on Progressive Prosecution Movement
Krinsky was a central figure in the progressive prosecution movement, advocating for reforms that emphasized alternatives to incarceration and systemic changes in the criminal justice system. Her resignation comes at a critical time when the movement is under increased scrutiny due to rising crime rates and political backlash. The irony of a leader facing racism allegations within a group dedicated to anti-racist policies highlights the movement’s internal challenges.

Leadership Transition and Future Directions
Following Krinsky’s departure, Amy Fettig and Robin Olsen have taken over as co-executive directors of FJP. They are tasked with navigating the organization through a turbulent period while maintaining focus on its reform agenda. The transition raises questions about the sustainability of FJP’s initiatives and its ability to recover from the reputational damage caused by the controversy.
This leadership change might influence the strategic direction of FJP and similar organizations. Such internal challenges could potentially weaken the broader progressive prosecution movement, providing ammunition for critics and affecting future policy debates.
