Our mission is to facilitate understanding and reconciliation

The Racial Justice Collaborative (RJC) is a diverse Black-led, multi-racial, and multi-generational group dedicated to dismantling the pervasive systems of inequality and anti-Blackness, while advocating for a just and equitable society that benefits everyone. Recognizing conflict as a catalyst for meaningful change, the RJC embraces the transformative power of "sitting in the fire" – a process that encourages confronting and working through the emotions and discomfort that arise from addressing anti-Black racism and white supremacy. This approach fosters mutual commitment and solidarity in the pursuit of shared objectives.

Founded by Diane Wong and a dedicated team of passionate anti-racists in 2020 in response to the brutal murder of George Floyd, an event that triggered an urgent nationwide awakening. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization continued to thrive, utilizing a flexible hybrid online/in-person approach to extend its reach and impact locally and globally. By working tirelessly towards a more inclusive and equitable world, the RJC has proven to be a vital force for change today.
