by Derrick Kikuchi, Reach and Teach
Social justice means moving towards a society where
all hungry are fed, all sick are cared for, the environment is treasured, and we treat each other with love and compassion. Not an easy goal, for sure, but certainly one worth giving our lives for! -
Medea Benjamin, co-founder Global Exchange and Code Pink
Social justice means complete and genuine equality of all people. Not exactly stuff for Bartlett's, but there you go.

Paul George, executive director Pennisula Peace and Justice Center
Social justice provides the foundation for a healthy community. It grows out of our sense
that each person — each created being — has value. Only as we recognize the value and dignity of each person can we build a healthy community, so it's a slow, painful process of learning and growing. To help the process along we develop attitudes of respect for one another. We also shape
policies and patterns of behavior to protect and enhance the worth of each person. We do this by building governmental and economic structures, educational and religious institutions, and all the other systems that provide for health and social welfare. This justice is not a goal that we'll ever reach, but a process, a struggle in which we can be engaged through all the pain and all the joy.
