ACTION FOR RACIAL JUSTICE
ADDS NEW VOICES TO THE MOVEMENT TO END RACIAL INEQUITY.

ARJ provides the tools to help people collaborate in small groups to confront and overturn policies and practices that result in systemic racism.
WHAT IS
ACTION FOR RACIAL JUSTICE?
A non-profit organization, ARJ helps justice-minded people learn about race issues and press for policies with equitable outcomes. ARJ provides the tools to recruit, motivate, and support new voices in the movement to confront and dismantle systemic racism.

HOW DOES ARJ
ADD VALUE TO THE MOVEMENT FOR RACIAL JUSTICE?
Activating New Voices
Many people with good intentions want to fight racism but don’t know how. By offering a highly accessible platform and providing the tools and motivation, ARJ will engage large numbers of new advocates.
Building Commitment and Community
Volunteers in large groups often lack a sense of connection. ARJ will create more personal groups, which people enjoy most and in which they generally do their best work. Small groups bond more closely and create valuable accountability.
Acting Locally with a National Campaign
A network of activists will focus on attacking racial injustice and disparities in their communities and states while also identifying and acting as part of a national movement.
Adding Channels Adapted to the Times
America’s current focus on racial injustice comes while people are unable to join together in public. Teleconferences will gather people; social media and online advocacy strategies will support 21st-century democratic engagement.
Building on Experience and Success
ARJ is being developed by a team with compelling success in advancing social justice. The team includes a key architect of the highly influential Save Darfur movement, many lessons of which will serve racial justice actions.


Who is ARJ working with
for the Inaugural Program?
ARJ is working in partnership with Chicago Community Trust (as a component of their “On The Table” initiative) to identify and address racially unjust policies in the Chicago region. We provide a useful mechanism for people to take realistic action to create change and build racial equity.
