Social Justice Origin Stories is a storytelling project that highlights personal stories and defining moments that have inspired individuals and organizations to labor for equity and social justice.

Through truth-telling: the honest sharing of their experiences, storytellers teach us about themselves, enabling us to learn about ourselves and our world through their stories.

By reconnecting with pivotal moments of activation in their lives, they invite us to do the same. Every journey has a beginning. What's yours?

Connecting people across experiences. Sharing stories that inspire action.
