Invisible Institute
Invisible Institute is an independent nonprofit journalism production company based in Chicago's South Side. It is dedicated to enhancing citizens' ability to hold public institutions accountable, particularly in the areas of human rights and civil rights. Founded by Jamie Kalven, the organization emerged from grassroots efforts aimed at creating alternatives for ex-offenders and street gang members while practicing a form of human rights documentation known as "guerrilla journalism." The organization focuses on investigative reporting to uncover abuses and systemic issues, especially related to police misconduct. It engages in human rights documentation, multimedia storytelling, and public information curation to support civil rights litigation and raise awareness. Invisible Institute also facilitates conversations on race and justice, aiming to foster understanding and community engagement. Its work empowers local communities, civil rights advocates, journalists, and policymakers by providing the tools and information necessary to demand accountability and reform from public institutions.
