LWVCS Coffee Hour Chat with Gail Williamson, Director of NEJA

Gail Williamson, Director of the National Equal Justice Association (NEJA), will join us to share the NEJA's story of their Campaign for Sustainable Recovery & Development, including Biodiversity. 

Founded in 1981, NEJA is a 501(c) all-volunteer organization that was formed to aid locally-based efforts fighting to end patterns of injustice - particularly those encountered by the most poorly paid workforces of our nation. NEJA seeks to break the cycle of splintered, isolated attempts striving for equal justice that are needlessly “reinventing the wheel” for want of knowledge of like organizations, campaigns or movements, or of potential resources promoting legal recourse.

NEJA works with those who are carving out a definition of equal justice through positive example. “NEJA operates from a core principle that "... those directly affected by the injustices must take a lead role in defining the solutions and effecting that change.”
