Who We Are

Our Network

Just Associates (JASS) is an international network of activists, scholars, and popular educators grounded in local and national action in more than 25 countries, working to strengthen the voice, visibility, and collective organizing power of women to create a just world. JASS programs aim to expand grassroots empowerment and public engagement; strengthen activists' and organizations' political strategic capacities; build bridges and alliances across boundaries of power and privilege shaped by class, gender, race, age, location, sexuality and other factors; and communicate fresh knowledge about the messy and inspiring realities of social change.
