About Us
Our Mission
To elevate the voices of other women, families of victims, & the victims themselves when they’re not being heard when they’re crying for help. To do whatever we can to help them get their lawful justice. For every case to be treated with equal effort regardless of housing status, addiction, or mental health.
Everyone deserves a voice; regardless of housing status, addiction, or mental health.
Our Story
Tragedy stole our loved ones, then gave us each other.
We didn’t know each other when we first experienced the worst day of our lives… but after being ignored and not taken seriously by law enforcement we had a strange instinct to reach out to each other. Together we were able to connect some major dots that had the detectives & community finally listening to what we were saying.
We are three of five families who had a daughter/sister taken away from them too soon in early 2023. We are determined, and we continue to seek justice that we now believe will be served.
Since meeting in June of 2023, we’ve talked every day and have had boots on the ground fighting for justice, to keep our girls names in the news, and to continue to seek information to bring our cases to a close.
We feel blessed to have also had the chance to build relationships with the families of the two other women who were taken from this world too soon. We continue to have each other’s backs, to let each other cry on our shoulder, and to lift each other up when we’ve hit an episode of wanting to give up.
We are the fighting families - fighting for justice.
Our Vision
Be the change you wish to see...
After all we’ve been through… and having to figure it out alone, it was clear that we couldn’t stop once we get justice for our girls.
There’s always another family who’s been ignored, told that it’s the victims fault, and shoved to the side with no support or guidance. To process having a missing or murdered child, sibling, or parent… trying to figure out what to do and not knowing where to start or where to go, all while trying to hold it together weighs heavy on a soul.
We are determined to be the support those families need!
Our major goal is to achieve 501(c)3 status and help connect those families to resources, to help guide them, help them search, help them be heard by introducing them to major news anchors nationwide and make sure their loved one doesn’t get forgotten- and that they get their justice, or at minimum their truth & closure.
Our plan is to assist family members in the Portland metro area with in-person emotional support groups, places they can go to for checklists, flyer templates, printers & connections to donated services such as legal counsel, cadaver dogs, rescue divers, private investigators, and more.
We also know the toll that mental illness, addiction, & homelessness can have on a person and their families; as well as how the biases of many in law enforcement, government, and even our healthcare system result in these people going without basic human necessities and access to mental health care, medical health care, adequate representation, and loss of dignity.
United Justice Group isn’t only about the murdered women whose cases would go cold otherwise; we are about community. About support. About wellness. About togetherness and lifting each other up.
We want to help make our community a better, safer place.
We don’t want our girls deaths to be for nothing.
We want their names to live on through goodness.
United Justice Group was formed for that reason.
Thank you for supporting our mission, and believing in us. 💖
