ABOUT THE SOCIAL JUSTICE COMMITTEE

The Social Justice Committee of DMNA is your forum for addressing issues of social justice affecting our neighborhood.  First established in 2016, the committee meets in person on the last Wednesday of each month -- time and place published in the weekly DMNA weekly email.  Everyone is invited to join any meeting.  The work we do and the good we can contribute to our neighborhood and our world is limited only by the imagination of those who attend.

We’re currently working on issues of homelessness, particularly housing-insecure children in our neighborhood schools; racism and educational equity; environmental matters including the effects of climate change on our neighborhood and Lake Wingra and what we can do; and educating ourselves and our community about other topics.  Please come to a meeting, or contact our chair, to lend your hand to our efforts or to ask for help on an issue of your personal concern.

Interim chair:  Bob Block, bobblock1014@earthlink.net
