Californians for Justice

Bring about racial justice by building the power of youth.

Overview

Californians for Justice believes that young people are the leaders we need to create the healthy just and vibrant schools all of our communities deserve. We ensure that students have the opportunity to grow as leaders and work with them to win campaigns so that every school and community can thrive.School is a critical foundation for every young person s life. We need schools that engage every student and invest in their unique talents to put them on a path towards opportunity and success. Unfortunately too many of our schools fail to meet the needs of all students especially youth of color. Students are valued partners with proven solutions who know what it takes to have healthy and just learning environments where they can thrive. Yet we too often forget to lift up the voices of young people to help shape the future of education in our communities.To have the schools we need we must listen to our young people and empower them to lead.
