Social JusticeThe vision of the National NCNW Social Justice Committee is to have all sections across the country actively involved in activities that address the primary pillars of social justice which include access to resources, equity, participation, diversity, and human rights. By engaging in these activities on the local and national level, the current racial and gender disparities in housing, education, health, career advancement, socioeconomic status, legal system outcomes, and political representation will become more equitable, inclusive, and just.
