Social Justice U is an action-oriented informational program that prepares constituents to meet with your own two General Assembly legislators this Fall. Most meetings will be online and hopefully at a convenient time. We meet as a group and it's fine to simply be an additional presence. Our goals are 

·      to advocate for social justice, 

·      to build civic capacity and confidence, and 

·      to develop a relationship between the legislator and constituents. 

Please join us on Sunday, Sept. 26th. Virtual doors open at 2:30pm, program begins at 3pm and lasts till 5pm.  

Keynote: Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander.

Followed by issue briefings on 

·      Health disparities: sick leave & mental health services

·      Environmental justice: comprehensive legislation

·      Criminal justice reform/public safety: ban solitary confinement

·      Democracy/voting access: reduce the effect of money in politics

·      Poverty/economic justice: housing reparations

·      Civil rights/dismantling systemic racism: minimum wage for farm workers
