Very informative piece with a list of useful definitions in justice.

What do we mean when we talk about justice? --> https://lnkd.in/gUjY6PTf IIED’s new manifesto emphasises its determination to address social, economic and environmental injustices. Karen Wong-Perez explores the richness and power of the diversity of tones, textures and voices for justice in contemporary social movements. "A concept of justice names a struggle. It makes visible the particularities of multiple manifestations of injustice and produces a sense of agency from which subaltern narratives rise as a flag for finding common ground and strengthening social movements." #SocialJustice #ClimateJustice #SocialMovements

Placing the emphasis on human dignity may provide a means of promoting the fundamental principles underlying human rights in a way that is compatible with all moral lexicons.  https://lnkd.in/gzeejnEz #Dignity #HumanRights

Justice as a journey underscores the importance of sustained commitment and perseverance in the face of obstacles and setbacks. It encourages resilience, determination, and long-term vision in the pursuit of systemic change and social transformation. #JusticeJourney #collectiveaction #socialchange #InclusiveJustice #equalityforall

I have much yet to watch from Oxford Real Farming Conference … but this was also excellent. Commons and Commoning: a Progressive Vision of a Good Society https://lnkd.in/eX4bsXpV "The Magna Carta and Charter of the Forest of 1217 inaugurated legal doctrines guaranteeing public access and use of land, water, forests, and myriad social and intellectual commons. Yet capitalist enterprises and complicit states have plundered, privatised and commodified them, generating vast wealth and power for a minority while laying waste to ecosystems, democracy, and social equity. This session features two activist-thinkers discussing how commoning can achieve structural transformation and cultural change. Guy Standing, an economist and author of Plunder of the Commons, The Blue Commons and The Politics of Time, will propose a Charter of the Commons to revive the spirit of commoning – shared productive and regenerative activity – and move beyond mindless GDP growth. David Bollier, an American at the Schumacher Center for a New Economics and author of The Commoner’s Catalog for Changemaking and Free, Fair and Alive, will explain how contemporary varieties of commons are building a “parallel polis” that can leverage political and cultural change."

For six months, our campaign has been crisscrossing the country to deliver a message about how we can forge a new civic path. At a time when people are fed up with our politics, this civic campaign is spreading across the nation. Here's 3 takeaways as to why. 1) When traditional candidates only go where their voters are, this campaign is embraced by communities across the political spectrum. 2) When people feel immense fear and anxiety over the direction of the country, this campaign is providing comfort and hope. 3) When everything seems stuck, this campaign is showing people a practical path forward that starts in their local communities. It’s clear to us. More politics won’t solve the challenges facing our communities today. But we can forge a civic path that creates real change. Let’s go together. https://bit.ly/4e4Dssb

As I delve into #dei a resource such as this one is helpful to conversations around race, ethnicity, culture, especially during intellectual debates and conversations. Those of us working in the #socialjustice and #dei sectors would do good by utilizing this resource. #education #dialog #communication #conversation #thetruthmatters

New Learning for Justice magazine – Dialogue Across Difference - is here! Our shared liberation requires bridging our diversity to enable collective action. In this polarized political environment, we must not lose sight of the humanity of the people around us. Dialogue creates opportunities to reach across differences and to engage with and understand one another, without losing the integrity of our work for equity and justice. This issue explores why dialogue is crucial for a thriving democracy, addresses critical issues facing our communities in the South and our nation, and encourages us to reach across our differences for the common good. Our democracy’s strength rests on our ability to commit to one another for a shared purpose that centers our humanity.
