Dallas Justice Now Names Adekoye Adams Head of Outreach
Mr. Adams will be deeply engaged with Dallas leaders to show them the realities the black community in Dallas community faces and the solutions an overwhelming majority favor.
Mr. Adams had the following comment on his appointment:
“As I transition to making Dallas my new home, I am keenly attuned to the aspirations of its Black residents for equality and fairness. The unfortunate reality of children being confined to struggling schools is unacceptable. We hunger for, and wholly deserve, the same educational privileges afforded to our wealthy counterparts.
Mr. Adams is particularly enthusiastic about shining a spotlight on Black-owned businesses in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. He believes these businesses are the cornerstone of economic empowerment and diversity within our community. Mr. Adams is eager to leverage his new role at DJN to amplify the voices of these entrepreneurs, showcasing their stories, achievements, and the remarkable products and services they offer. He views this as a crucial component of his work, as it contributes to fostering a thriving and inclusive local economy. Through his multimedia storytelling, Mr. Adams aims to connect these businesses with a wider audience, driving both awareness and support towards these vital community assets.
Furthermore, as our Outreach Lead, Mr. Adams will employ his formidable networking skills to forge and fortify partnerships that will bolster DJN’s mission. He looks forward to engaging with teachers, administrators and Board Members and Councilmen in order to give a glimpse to the road ahead for educational freedom and opportunity. His work will embody our relentless pursuit of educational freedom, business development, and safer streets, all while establishing crucial relationships that underpin these initiatives.
We are thrilled to welcome Adekoye Adams to the DJN family and look forward to the profound narratives he will weave, the meaningful relationships he will cultivate, and the indelible impact he will have on our community. His inclusion signals our unwavering commitment to fostering a more inclusive, prosperous, and secure Dallas.

About Dallas Justice Now
We, the people of Dallas, must come together and remedy the root causes of the institutionalized racism which we know is a plague on people of color in our city.
We are ambitious that by tackling the root causes of institutionalized racism in our city we can remedy the injustices we witness on a day to day basis like disparity in wealth and education and access to quality education. Every Black man and woman deserve to live their lives without fearing they will get gunned down by criminals or cops and also have access to the educational platforms which equips us for a brighter future.
OUR GOALS
-
![]()
ONE
Advocating for the return of Black Wallstreet in Dallas, Success thru Local Businesses and Entrepreneurship. We believe that Black Welfare and Wallstreet cannot co-exist on the same avenue. The minority business class is key to have the safe neighborhoods we deserve. Welfare is for the sick and the disabled. Rather than looking forward to government handouts we will encourage entrepreneurship and strong work ethics. Everyone has to start somewhere but it is the effort that means everything.

TWO
Safe Streets. Crime spikes and surges are an epidemic that hurt minority families worse than police brutality. We all have to put our differences aside and put street safety as the first priority. For each one of us killed, the damage to our family tree is lasting and this is part of what has caused the generational wealth gap.

THREE
We seek end to the prioritization of Black victimhood. Trauma is real and we are so much more than survivors. People working hard to make our neighborhoods and streets prosper should have their voices acknowledged and their concerns met. These people need hand ups instead of hand outs.

FOUR
An end to “us versus them” law enforcement. We do not want police officers to continue to treat communities of color with apathy or continue to dehumanize people of color. We want responsible respectful policing and law enforcement. We also want an end to discriminatory policing. We want every person regardless of skin color to be treated fairly by law enforcement.

FIVE
An end to the discriminatory “separate but equal” public education system. Dallas Independent School District is failing children of color. Why are white children in the suburbs given a better education than children of color in Dallas? Why are racist school board members denying children of color access to school choice? We demand access to equal education facilities. And if DISD refuses to provide quality education then we demand school choice.
HOW WE WILL ACHIEVE THESE GOALS
-
Direct action
We will call our officials, we will rally, we will protest. We will do what it takes to get the word out and hold wrongdoers accountable.
-
Coalition Building
We will reach out and build coalitions with church leaders, activists, and elected officials.
-
Research, data, & Science
We will be publishing detailed papers examining our findings about police unions, qualified immunity, discriminatory policing, and discriminatory education.

When it comes to public safety, the numbers tell a story that transcends feel-good photo ops and campaign slogans. Councilwoman Paula Blackmon, in her role, was tasked with ensuring Dallas was safe and that the needs of its citizens were met. This responsibility is more than rhetoric or staged moments of “connection” with voters. It's about real action, real principles, and ensuring that the rule of law is upheld and protected for everyone in the city.
