Challenging extreme inequality is a moral imperative. Racial inequality undergirds all social injustices. The legacy of distributive, procedural, or interactional institutionalized racism today perpetuates inequality and is a barrier to social justice. Racism prevents equitable access to housing, healthy food, employment, voting, clean environments, and social inclusion as well as creating significant inequities in the criminal justice, education, economic, immigration and health care systems..

​

The goal of Social Justice is for everyone to be treated fairly and equally regardless of attributes. This occurs when all members of a society have the same basic rights, protections, opportunities, obligations, and social benefits.

We must work intentionally and collectively to build awareness and increase understanding of the negative impact of racial bias and institutional racism has on the well-being of all members of our communities. We hope that information provided will support you in making a positive difference in our all our communities by serving, raising awareness, supporting and partnering with people, groups and communities most impacted by injustice. so you can advocate, organize, and act for justice to live out the values of your convictions and faiths. In all justice areas we are all called and committed to breaking down divisions, healing isolation, and honoring  the inter-connectedness of all life by creating just, welcoming, and inclusive communities and organizations locally, nationally and internationally.

​

The movement toward racial equality includes service, education, advocacy, and public witness (the practice of taking a public position in support of justice) by:

​

• Harnessing the power of love to end oppression

​

• Activating people of faith and conscience to resist the harm inflicted by social injustices

​

• Provide opportunities for experiential learning to deepen the work of justice for people of all ages.
