Social justice is closely tied to human rights and refers to promoting fairness, equality, and equity across multiple aspects of society, including economic, educational, and workforce opportunities.
There are more issues out there than conversations that I have guided, specifically because I am very comfortable recommending an area expert and refer if training or discussion is available.
I firmly believe that "politics" and "partisan" are entirely different things and will advocate for politics that enfranchise the most people, provide support and services for the most people, and protect and defend rights as outlined in the US Constitution. I am a proud veteran and have lived overseas for the US Department of State for 25 years, so I come into that opinion through training, experience, and education. I will be respectful, supportive, and kind.
