While deeply meaningful and utterly essential, social justice work can be confounding, raising many complex questions. Why do we take one step forward and then two steps back - on racial justice, the environment, immigration, removing barriers to economic opportunity, gun control? What can we do to bridge the divides in our increasingly polarized country, beginning with the very language we use? How can nonprofits and public agencies best serve constituents in need, balancing mission with necessities such as marketing (too often dismissed as a luxury)? What lessons from past social justice efforts directly benefit our current work? How do those in justice professions make a sustainable difference, and how do we keep on keeping on?Chasing Social Justice addresses these questions in an unusually poignant and accessible way, combining lived experience with political analysis, illuminating lessons learned over the past three decades across social justice movements, initiatives, and organizations.
