The Social Justice Network at Yale is
a coalition of organizations and individuals working for social justice and social change
at Yale, in New Haven, and beyond. SJN is dedicated to building a community
among and reaching out to those who identify themselves as working for
social justice, while helping activists develop skills necessary to
acheive this change. SJN is a resource center, providing the space for
dialogue and cooperation, creating and maintaining links to other
organizations. SJN works to keep activism alive at Yale, serving as an

tools and knowledge of effective organizing from one graduating class to the next.
