This bookshelf gathers voices that help us see—and change—the world we share. Aligned with the Justice & Integrity Pillar, these selections illuminate how compassion, dignity, and equity can move from aspiration to action across communities and systems.
What you’ll find here:
- Foundations & frameworks that ground social justice in history, ethics, and critical analysis.
- Race, gender, and intersectionality lenses that reveal how power works—and how we can transform it.
- Economy, housing, and policy explorations that connect everyday life to structures and laws.
- Education & civic practice guides that turn dialogue, organizing, and nonviolence into daily skills.
- Stories & memoirs that humanize issues and invite empathy, courage, and solidarity.
How to use this list:
- Pick a foundation to orient your thinking.
- Add a lens (e.g., race, gender, class, migration) to deepen perspective.
- Choose a practice guide or narrative to translate insight into action—whether in classrooms, councils, workplaces, or neighborhoods.
Use these books to spark reading circles, inform policy conversations, and support community learning. Let them challenge assumptions, expand empathy, and equip you to build more just, compassionate systems—close to home and across the globe.
