Being discerning about the information around us is important, especially during elections. As our access to information from a variety of media sources has increased, the benefits of wider exposure are being undermined by a media landscape filled with polarized messaging, manipulated content, disinformation and propaganda. Rhetoric and catchphrases – especially about complex and divisive issues – are abundant and often attempt to reduce complex concerns to simplified and biased explanations.

Through learning that teaches honest history, introduces servant leadership (an approach that focuses on leadership in service of the community) and eases entry into the movement for justice, Youth Learning for Justice aims to help young people realize their power to shape the future.

October is Youth Justice Action Month. Commit with us to work toward transforming harmful systems and creating more supportive communities in which all young people can thrive. An important step in creating change together is participating in our election process. Our votes matter.

Banned Books Week is Sept. 22 to 28, 2024. Learning can help us to resist hate and bias and counter limited narratives that have traditionally excluded diverse perspectives.

Introducing LFJ’s Learning Center, our new online popular education space for everyone (adults, youth and children), offering learning for civic and political action. The Learning Center continues our Community Justice Sites programming in our Southern states and extends our resources to a national audience. This new landing page and menu provides links to our new learning resources and series.

When we cultivate the values of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) in young children, we create steppingstones toward resisting hate and strengthening democracy. Growing Together: For Children and Families is LFJ’s new series, with learning activities, stories and book recommendations for children.
