The Journal of Social Justice in Action (JSJA) is a peer-reviewed, multimedia academic journal rooted in truth-telling from the frontlines. Created by and for credible messengers, system-impacted leaders, scholar-activists, and community practitioners, JSJA amplifies lived experience as legitimate scholarship. We publish work that reflects the struggles, healing journeys, and strategies of those building justice from the ground up.
