Peaceful and Just Solutions

“Soon after moving to Santa Barbara I met the staff of Just Communities and learned about their work to address conflicts and to create opportunities for people of diverse cultural, racial and economic groups to work together. I attended sessions where police, students, teachers and parents expressed their gratitude for the skills and understandings they gained as a result of Just Communities’ trainings and workshops. It is a privilege to endorse and support this organization that works year-round to promote peaceful and just resolutions to difficult issues in our county.”
