Social Justice PolitiCorps

The Organization:

The Social Justice PolitiCorps for Sacramento County was established in 2020 with a mission for Sacramento County to make policy decisions that help people who are most vulnerable so that they can do well. This needs to be a priority versus an after-thought!

We educate Sacramentans on key social justice decisions in an accessible manner and provide pathways for action.

The Social Justice PolitiCorps is a CORPS or a body of people activated to achieve social justice in Sacramento.

We define social justice as:

A redistribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges to those who have not historically benefited from such investments so that we can all do well.

Our Mission:

To ensure those most impacted by social inequities are equipped to shape the solutions necessary for a socially just Sacramento.

Our Culture:

“Many Hands, Light Werk”: We know that social justice advocacy is hard and value expanding the base of passive and active allies to help us achieve our mission.

We work hard and as a small start-up are resourceful since resources and staff are limited

We are independent self-starters who rely on our teammates and community partners for thought partnership to do excellent work

We value cultivating and defining ways to intentionally partner with like-minded organizations

We are curious and not afraid to try new things; We ask probing questions, develop plans, and use evaluation to determine whether to embark on a new phase or to continue with a phase/project

We think of innovative ways to activate and engage Sacramentans and hold electeds accountable

We strive to always center, support, and uplift the voices of impacted communities in Sacramento County
