The Imperial Valley Social Justice Committee (IVSJC) is a diverse, grassroots organization committed to advancing social change through civic engagement. We are founded on the belief that everyone deserves equal rights, access, and opportunity, and that community transformation begins with informed and collective action. Our mission is to put justice into practice, working to secure equity, equal rights, and economic opportunity for all Imperial Valley residents. We achieve this by amplifying marginalized voices through training and advocacy, promoting accountability in public systems, and mobilizing the community to address systemic issues.

Programs
This crucial initiative preserves the history and cultural richness of the Imperial Valley by collecting and sharing the oral histories of underrepresented communities, particularly African American histories. The project ensures that the wisdom of our elders is the foundation of our current advocacy.
These bi-monthly, structured workshops offer practical skills and critical knowledge needed for civic engagement:
