Our Mission
“Social Justice Walks uses walks as a medium to dig beneath the surface of what people walking the streets of New York regularly see – and in the process we come to understand the incredible challenges New Yorkers have taken on, connecting with the city's proud and creative histories of resistance.
We offer monthly public programs to local New Yorkers and visitors seeking to engage in radical, place-based, visceral and emotional self-education. Our intrinsic focus is on engaging people in critical dialogue about the past, present and future of our city from the perspective of both well-known and underappreciated social movements. And our ultimate aim is to assist in movement building; that is to spread information, expose injustice and highlight inequality in a digestible, understandable way to encourage thought and inspire action.”
