All other programs: in the past year, the center for social justice (csj) advocated alongside coalition partners for state and local legislation allocating millions of dollars to address social equity issues such as food insecurity. These funding victories represent the outcomes of an intensive process of grassroots organizing, education, thought leadership, policy development and legal action in fiscal year 2023, more than 200 people attended eight online events featuring panel conversations on issues such as the trans struggle for justice, anti-asian hate, racism and sex trafficking.
