Justice & Organizing
This theme encapsulates work on many different subjects, supporting election and voter engagement, advocacy, community organizing, and social justice topics like racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, police brutality, and restorative practices. With an upcoming presidential election, sweeping movements around the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and other critical issues hitting so close to Macalester, it is crucial that we as Macalester students engage in policy and justice issues.
