Guerilla Journalism Submission Form
SJPC is working to build a Sacramento community that has a shared definition and understanding of social justice including equity in access, opportunities, and grass roots decision making that is empowered to advocate for and within the community, to hold elected officials and existing power structures accountable, and is equipped to take collective action in pursuit of more equitable outcomes. One way that we work towards this goal is by investing in narrative change around issues of social justice.
Narrative change moves people to take action based on their unique experiences and beliefs. SJPC uplifts the stories and lived experiences of our community members most impacted by social inequities to ensure that their voices are heard and their experiences are understood and centered. By connecting social issues to community impact we encourage people to analyze those issues through a social justice lens. It is our goal that this storytelling moves people to act on behalf of shared social justice goals with a shared understanding of what those goals are.
It is absolutely crucial that we hear from community about their experience of living in Sacramento County - our understanding of social justice impacting folks living in Sacramento community needs to extend beyond just analysis and report backs on government meetings.
