In the new Fall 2023 issue of Learning for Justice magazine, Margaret Huang, president and chief executive officer of the Southern Poverty Law Center, emphasizes that, though challenging, this is also a time of great possibility. Huang explains her hopes: “When I look across our movement today, I see so many people of different races, genders, sexual orientations, abilities and backgrounds showing up as allies for one another in the fight for justice and liberation.
In our new fall 2024 magazine, Learning for Justice Director Jalaya Liles Dunn emphasizes the importance of coming together around a shared vision in the practice of democracy. Dunn explains that “We increase our power to foster change when we are in community with one another – deliberating, deciding and taking action.” Our democracy’s strength rests on our ability to commit to one another for a shared purpose that centers our humanity.
