Social Justice, Equity, and Inclusion

“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”
Benjamin Franklin

Social Justice Advocates for Equity and Inclusion

Social justice warriors are called to respond to immediate needs and advocate for long-term systemic change, fighting for life-changing legislation and launching innovative solutions to improve lives.

Social justice can be defined as the belief that everyone deserves equal economic, political, and social rights and opportunities. When people work for social justice, they take on a personal responsibility to work with others to create a more equitable and inclusive world, a place of equal rights, equal opportunity, and equal treatment for everyone.
