The Social Justice Immersion (SJI) is an after-school program held during the Spring for Black, Indigenous and Teens of Color interested in creating social change. It is a place to connect, organize, gather, laugh, play, learn and step up, expanding & deepening our collective ideas of change and building core skills to organize direct action.
SJI combines hands-on land based skills, civic engagement & political education. It is a community transformational space to develop a loving relationship to the land, ourselves and each other. We will split our time between learning how to plant seeds, weeding and helping out at the farm and engaging in discussions of social justice.
