Your Peace & Justice Center Needs You
by PJC Board of Directors
Hello friends and neighbors. Our Spring Appeal is doing well and we want to thank all of you for sending in your contributions, it helps us provide for what people need, but it’s not enough. Your Peace & Justice Center needs more than money. Your Peace & Justice Center needs you. Become a volunteer and offer your services at a variety of events. You’ll be enriched by being a part of the peace & justice team. If you think you have leadership skills you might want to join the Board of Directors or the Advisory Board. All of these groups need your help. You can also help by joining the Peace Press collective as a writer or editor. Your Peace & Justice Center needs you.
As fire season roars through California and rent relief expires, many people in our community need support. The Peace & Justice Center can help. If you go to pjcsoco.org and drill down you will come to the Resource Guide. Here you’ll see listings for aid in housing, legal assistance for fair housing laws, income/rent/bill assistance, hot and to go food services, grocery and pantry assistance, domestic violence survivor resources, hygiene resources, pet food assistance, mental health resources, transportation resources, labor/employment services, student/education services, and health resources. If you need help in these general areas then go to pjcsoco.org and study the resource list. This may lead you to the specific provider you need. It is one way the Peace & Justice Center serves the community.
Another way we serve the community is by offering our space for events to members and affiliated groups. So far this year, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, Movimiento Cultural de la Union Indigena, David Rovics, Healthcare For All Working Group and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women organization have all held successful events at the Center and you can too. Contact us by going to our home page, pjcsoco.org., and hitting contact us at the top of the page. After all, it’s your Center. People are using it to present information about issues of peace and social justice. We publicize these events on pjcsoco.org. Find one you’re interested in and come on out and support these activists who are supporting our common goal for a better world of peace through justice
