Social Justice Activism
Social justice activists struggle together to change systematic
forms of oppression and inequality and to create wholly new,
freer, more equal ways of living together.

Social justice activism is not charity work; it’s about working
together as equals and inclusively to make change we all have
a stake in.
Social justice activism is not the struggle against anything that
seems unfair; it’s a struggle against systematic unfairness.
Social justice activism is not only about reforming what’s here;
it’s about creating something new.
