SOCIAL JUSTICE What Is Social Justice? “Social justice refers to a fair and equitable division of resources, opportunities, and privileges in society. Originally a religious concept, it has come to be conceptualized more loosely as the just organization of social institutions that deliver access to economic benefits. It is sometimes referred to as "distributive justice." Social justice is a broad term, and there are many variations in how advocates apply the perspective. However, social determinants like the racial wealth gap or inequitable access to health care feature heavily in social justice analysis. Some applications related to social justice, such as critical race theory, have become a battleground for American politics. - Daniel Thomas Mollenkamp https://lnkd.in/dmpzxHaR https://lnkd.in/dzGdfz5d

Together, we can build a more just and equitable society for future generations. #Goodwill #WorldDayOfSocialJustice #EqualityForAll

I am happy to share that I have completed the course titled 'Social Justice and the 21st Century' as part of my fellowship at One Future Collective. The course offered insights into various forms of justice, including disability justice, climate justice, and caste justice, among others, and taught how to adopt an anti-oppression lens to social justice. #socialjustice

The current social and political moment "requires us to reach across the traditional boundaries... and build stronger bridges across various fields and movements," FCD President and CEO, Vivian Tseng, explains in the introduction to our new Social Justice for Young Children Conversation Series. "We hope this conversation series can help us build dynamic connections between the fields of early childhood, child development, and child advocacy on the one hand and immigrant, racial, and economic justice movements on the other."

On World Day of Social Justice we reflect on the four underpinning and interrelated principles - equity, access, participation and rights, and stress the need for continuing efforts to achieve social justice for everyone impacted by ME/CFS – because people with ME/CFS matter.

On this day, let us remember that social justice is the key to creating a more equitable world for all. Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect, no matter who they are or where they come from. Let us work together to ensure that all people have access to basic rights like education, healthcare, and housing. Let us create a world where all people are treated fairly and with compassion. Happy World Social Justice Day 🤍 #socialjustice #february20

💡NEW AYJ REPORT OUT NOW💡 📣 Our research calls for action to ensure as racially minoritised young people turn 18, the ‘by and for’ voluntary and community sector (VCS) is there to support them - bridging gaps in statutory services and guiding young people to brighter futures. ❗️Young people turning 18 in the justice system face a steep cliff edge. The research raises concerns that for racially minoritised young people, deficits in support – due to harsher treatment and a lack of appropriate skills and resources - compound the impacts of the cliff edge. 🤝 The transition to adulthood is a pivotal point. With the right support in place, it could be an opportunity to address childhood experiences and prevent inequalities widening. The VCS, particularly organisations led by and for racially minoritised communities, has a vital role to play: addressing shortcomings of statutory services, providing tailored, authentic support, focussing on empowerment and fostering trust and engagement. 📣 The report calls for policy change to break down barriers in funding and commissioning systems that exclude smaller, specialised community organisations, to ensure age-appropriate, culturally relevant, and strengths-based support is available to smooth the transition to adulthood and address racial injustice.
