Social and Racial Justice actions take many forms. But the purpose is the same: to build understanding and respect; to stand up for the rights of all; to confront stereotypes, bigotry, racism and ignorance; and to empower each and all of us, and especially those marginalized in the United States.
The forms of our work may involve:
- Holding in-person and online forums about social and racial justice issues, especially providing current information or to bring light to historical perspectives that have been previously dismissed or hidden.
- Encouraging ourselves to raise our voices about social and racial justice issues, whether that is at a rally or through communication with elected officials about policies – or the lack of policies.
- Collaborating with various groups that are taking action to correct an injustice
Sometimes educating ourselves is the most important thing we can do to make the change happen that is needed in our society. And then speaking up - when we see something that is not right at an individual level AND at a structural level.
