Partners in Justice
We do this work in community.
Sacred Resistance partners with faith-based, grassroots, and community-led organizations to advance justice and dignity through organizing, resource-sharing, and accompaniment.
ACLU of Southern California (ACLU SOCAL)
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) defends the fundamental rights outlined in the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These include the right to freedom of speech and assembly, the right to religious freedom, due process of law, equality before the law and the right to privacy. The ACLU also relies on state constitutional provisions and federal and state laws that further these and similar rights.
DEF Justice – A New Campaign of Economic Resistance
What is DEF Justice:
A people-powered economic resistance rooted in the wisdom of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who called for a radical redistribution of economic and political power.
A solidarity movement of BIPOC, Immigrant, and LGBTQ+ communities, seniors, working-class and poor folk, who have carried the weight of oppression for far too long and are done funding the systems that harm us.
People committed to building up local communities by divesting from extractive, monopolistic, multinational corporations. We recognize that when land, labor, and power are concentrated with an elite few, we suffer.
People prepared to educate, organize, and mobilize in the cause of revitalized and restored communities, with healthy economies, and better-functioning democracy.
