Justice is necessary because injustice exists. Racial discrimination; economic inequality; health care disparities; and inadequate access to quality education, healthy food and transportation are just some of the issues.
When we know what injustices exist, we can work to dismantle the systems that perpetuate injustice and create a fair, more equitable society.
Our ambition at 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ is to promote the social change necessary to remediate the inequities that we see because of racial disparities.

Microaggressions are daily indignities that happen in conversation and come from intentional of unintentional bias. At the core, they're based on stereotypes. Dr. Monica Smith teaches us how to recognize microaggressions and how to draw attention to them in a non-confrontational way to create access and reduce stereotypes.
Dr. Monica Smith talks about the residual effects of historical racism, and the need to actively push back against the systems that create unequal access for people of color, women and other minority groups.
