Why We Do It

To educate for a more compassionate world…

A society where all individual and groups receive fair and equitable treatment is an ideal, but can it be realized? Considering the extent of social injustice in the world today, social justice may seem to be an impossible goal.

The Ben Marion Institute For Social Justice seeks to accomplish this goal by promoting respect, acceptance, understanding and equity in the community, encouraging inclusion across the line of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, national origin, gender, class, and levels of ability.

To this we stand firmly committed.

 

Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
