social justice programs

Mission

Social Justice programs supports, advocates, and educates the University of Arizona and greater community in the areas of inequality and social injustices found in our society. We look at what we can learn from the distribution of power, privilege, and oppression. Our mission is to create a socially conscious campus.

We are located on the 4th floor of the Student Union Memorial Center, room 404.
