Hi! My name is Jillian and I've always been motivated to promote social justice for as long as I can remember.
(Your "introduction" will be visible on the homepage.) Use this space to provide links or more info: What social justice issues do you care deeply about? Do you work with any organizations or specific communities? What do you do for FUN? Thanks!
I'm very passionate about children's rights, promoting tolerance and diversity, and African economic self-determination as well as promoting economic justice in general (I went to school for African sustainable development so I'm particularly knowledgeable about this). Aside from promoting social justice, I love art, running, yoga, dance, movies and jewelry-making. This summer I interned with the International Institute of Justice and Development in Stoneham and I work as an executive assistant in Cambridge. I look forward to meeting more progressive individuals like myself in the Boston area!
How did you hear about Socializing for Justice? Please be specific so we know which websites, listserves or people to thank.
I saw the group suggestion for Socializing for Justice on Meetup.
Socializing for Justice (SoJust) is all about building a cross-cultural, cross-issue progressive community, network and movement in Boston based on the Philosophy of Abundance. We're doing it by putting the SOCIAL back in SOCIAL JUSTICE. We host events twice a month to meet each other and make connections. No Program. No Speaker. Just Us. Newcomers always welcomed!
**You must be a member to RSVP or post an event on the message board. Not a member?
It's free to join - share as much or as little as you'd like about your connection to social justice.
We may seem like just another liberal social group but get involved to find outwhat we can create together!
Join us if you want to CROSS-PROMOTE your events and campaigns, are NEW TO THE AREA and looking for groups to get involved in, or you've been looking for LIKE-MINDED PROGRESSIVES to hang with in Boston. Join us if you are ready to go BEYOND ALLIES and build a CROSS-ISSUE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.
YES, WE MEAN YOU. We've got members of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, levels of activism, and professions - born in Boston to just moved here. We hope you see someone like yourself and meet someone you otherwise wouldn't have.
Want to know about PROGRESSIVE EVENTS in Boston? We CROSS-POST events we hear about on the SoJust CALENDAR - see what's going on this week.
