CRISJ ARTS  SUBCOMMITTEE

CRISJ Arts Subcommittee participants are a mix of university and community members committed to advancing social justice and ending inequalities based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, disability, and/or citizenship. Our work strives to amplify the artistic and creative voices of historically disempowered communities and builds bridges among diverse groups in an effort to transform society into a more just and equitable democracy. Artists, academics, students, community organizers, activists and retirees come together in this project to promote a more perfect union for all.
