Social Justice Campaigner on Clubhouse

Description

The words “fair” and “just” are key in this definition. The institutions of society that are applicable to social justice often include taxation, social insurance, public health, public school, public services, labor law and regulation of markets to ensure fair distribution of wealth and equal opportunity. However, some religious leaders choose not to mention the peaceful protesting of social injustice in their churches, or they fear ostracism and retaliation if they do. Meanwhile, the Bible speaks of getting involved to correct social injustice in countless scriptures.

Wikipedia defines social justice as “a concept of fair and just relations between the individual and society, as measured by the distribution of wealth, opportunities for personal activity and social privileges.”
