The Justice Files Institute

HELP US BUILD THE HOME FOR JUSTICE.

100% Independent. 100% Ethical. The Justice Files Institute is moving. To protect the integrity of the Creator Dignity Standard (CDS) and ensure our advocacy remains autonomous, we are building a new, secure home from the ground up.Our $10,000 Foundation Goal 🧱 We are looking for our "Village" to help us lay the bricks. This transition is about more than just a physical space—it’s about creating the digital and legal infrastructure needed to hold the True Crime industry to a higher standard.Advocacy without accuracy isn't justice—it’s exploitation.Help us reach the $10k finish line.

COMING SOON: THE CDS CREATOR KIT
We are currently finalizing the 2026 Creator Dignity Standard Kit and Licensing. Very soon, creators will be able to apply for their verified seal and secure the tools needed to meet Standard 1.3A.
Sign up for our newsletter or follow the BMAC page to be the first to know when the Kit goes live.
