Center for Nonviolence and Social Justice

Social justice embodies the vision of a society that is equitable and in which all members are physically and psychologically safe.
Social justice also demands that all people have a right to basic human dignity and to have their basic economic needs met.
Our commitment to social justice recognizes that health is affected by a host of social factors.
It is not possible to address trauma and violence without also wrestling with poverty, racism, sexism, classism, homophobia and all other forms of stigma.
Because of this, we cannot ignore deep seated inequalities as we seek answers to problems like violence and trauma. Rather, we must struggle with these problems clearly and honestly.
