3. Social Justice Agencies and Organizations
To provide dedicated service to one or more

positive social change at home, in the work

To achieve social justice we will have to break down a lot of huge barriers
that exist on a scale far above the individual, but even the biggest scale
change is nothing more than the sum of a whole lot of individual.
