Standing for Justice

The SJRC is committed to supporting and protecting the health, safety, and dignity of all people. Those who are most impacted by the injustices throughout our country must be the leaders who address these problems and train others to recognize these problems.

These leaders must be empowered to make impactful decisions that bring about change. The Social Justice Resource Center will provide the mechanisms for leaders of all ages to work together and with the community at large to address systemic injustices.
