Most of us have some level of awareness that all things are not going well for all people in our society or on our planet.
Social Justice is about making our societies more just, fair, egalitarian, peaceful, in harmony, respectful, etc. It is the fabric that holds us together and makes us feel good about who we are and where we live. It has been out of balance for… well, forever actually but we need to speak up and to make it better for everyone. I am a dreamer and I believe a better world is not only possible but necessary.

Parkland Institute – The Parkland Institute is an Alberta-wide, non-partisan research institute, situated within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta. The Institute studies economic, social, cultural, and political issues using the intellectual approach to Canadian political economy
Edmonton Social Planning Council – “Our focus is social research, particularly in the areas of low income and poverty. ESPC is a source of knowledge and expertise on social issues within our community.” One of the many things that this group works on is being part of the Alberta Living Wage Network.
Edmonton Interfaith Centre for Education and Action – “Our centre was founded by people of good will from many faiths who realized that only by working together could we create a community dedicated to friendship, harmony and understanding. Members of our Centre are drawn from fourteen different faith traditions. We are united in the celebration of the diversity found in our city, province and country. We continue to work to build bridges of understanding and respect between our diverse faith communities.” I was not able to connect to their website so hyperlinked to their Facebook page.
