Activism and spirituality have long been intertwined, with many individuals finding strength and guidance in their beliefs as they advocate for social justice causes. One organization at the forefront of this intersection is our non-profit, Social Justice as a Spiritual Practice (SJSP).
SJSP is a unique entity that stands out for its explicit promotion of peaceful protest as a core tenet of its beliefs. As a 501(c)(3) organization, SJSP offers a range of resources and support for its members who engage in social justice actions with a spiritual foundation.
One of the key offerings of SJSP is education for peaceful protesters. SJSP provides practical support for members looking to organize in a non-confrontational spiritually forward way. For more insight into the process, "A Practical Guide to Peaceful Protest" is available, along with other tools and resources. By centralizing these resources, SJSP aims to empower its members to engage in social justice action in a thoughtful and organized manner.
Starting in 2025, members will be able to access online courses, and ordination materials to foster a sense of peace and purpose among its members as they work towards a more just and equitable society. In addition to these resources, SJSP also amplifies the voices of its members and advocates for peaceful protest through speaking engagements and workshops. The founder of SJSP, Jasper James, frequently participates in panel discussions and other events to share the organization's message and inspire others to join in the fight for social justice. Furthermore, SJSP is also dedicated to addressing the challenges facing peaceful protesters, including policies that seek to criminalize their actions. By highlighting these issues and advocating for change, SJSP is actively working to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for activism.
