“The ebbs and flows of history show us how oppressed groups have shifted power to advance our civil and human rights. The challenge of our time is who will control the political power so democracy is fully realized and all our humanity is fully recovered.”
—  Jalaya Liles Dunn, Director, Learning for Justice, from “Making Recovery Last: A Season for Radical Reconstruction”

Learning for Justice is a community education program of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) that cultivates and nurtures dialogue, learning, reflection and action from those most proximate to and impacted by injustices in the South. By centering learning to inform action for liberation and justice, LFJ will complement the SPLC’s work to increase power and capacity for multiracial, inclusive democracy.

As the anniversary of the January 6 insurrection approaches, we are reminded that democracy requires regular practice from all of us, and media literacy is vital to that practice. We offer our first new resource of the year, our Media Literacy Resources page, which provides guidance for introducing these essential skills to children and young people.
