Social Policy

Social Policy

Secure equal rights and equal opportunity for all. Promote social and economic justice and the health and safety of all Americans.

The Social Justice Committee is a recent amalgam of two components. The Committee engages in education and advocacy related to reforming policing practices and housing and tenant protections. Most of the current work is concentrated in Pasadena and on the County level.

The Committee would like to expand into other subjects and other service area cities. For these reasons, it seeks additional members, especially individuals directly impacted by social justice concerns.
