At Elders for Social Justice (ESJ) we create an inclusive education and advocacy environment for social and environmental justice. We work with other EAN groups, external organizations, elder activists, youth and visionary leaders as we act on behalf of Earth and all life.
We gather once a month to focus on a current social justice issue so we can take informed collective and local actions.
Elders for Social Justice Community Meeting
Third Thursday of the month
9:00 – 10:30 am PT / 12:00 – 1:30 pm ET
Rev. W. Benjamin Boswell, author of Confronting Whiteness, will speak at ESJ’s March 21 Community Meeting. He has developed a new conversation about race and racism that helps members of White-dominant churches and institutions identify their own racial history and wrestle with what it means to be White. Confronting Whiteness is an intentional spiritual journey of anti-racism to aid people in identifying and dismantling their Whiteness.
Taking Action To Confront Authoritarianism
We work to educate and take action so every person has the right to learn, grow and pursue their dreams. Censorship actions are a step towards authoritarianism and run counter to the shared value of free speech that has informed generations of American progress.
Second Thursday of the month
9:00 – 10:30 am PT / 12:00 – 1:30 pm ET
