Californians for Justice is a statewide nonprofit organization in the civic and social sector, based in San Jose, California. It works to improve outcomes for communities of color, immigrant populations, people with low incomes, LGBTQ individuals, and other marginalized groups. The organization focuses on education issues and how students’ experiences in schools can influence racial bias and inequality in the country. Its work is grounded in youth leadership, with young people and partners shaping themselves, their schools, and their communities through advocacy for justice. The organization has engaged in collaborations with school districts to advance equity-focused training and policy change, including a partnership with the Long Beach Unified School District around 2020–2021 to train teachers and staff on mitigating bias. These efforts reflect Californians for Justice’s role in education equity and civil rights work, highlighting youth leadership as a driver of change in schools and communities.
