Friend,
Learning for Justice
[link removed]
is a project of the SPLC that seeks to uphold our mission
through social justice education and advocacy. Recognizing
education's capacity to help build an equitable society,
Learning for Justice engages educators, young people, caregivers and
all community members to think critically about current issues and
events and to foster inclusive learning.
The Fall 2022 issue of Learning for Justice Magazine

highlights how the fight for democracy is built on intersecting
struggles for justice and calls upon us to use our individual
strengths to work collectively toward advancing the human rights of
all people by advocating for one another in education and in all
sectors of society.
