Because Justice Matters

Because Justice Matters is building pathways to brighter futures for women and girls in urban communities. Our team builds intentional relationships with women living on the streets, in isolated, one-room apartments and in the homeless shelters of the Tenderloin. BJM serves women who have been wounded in relationships that used and abused. We believe we all will find healing in relationships that value and encourage. We believe in reaching families through building community. We do this through ESL classes and providing care for the children of our ESL students. We also provide a space for conversation and friendship with the mothers of our dancers. Our goal is to cultivate support systems within various immigrant communities. We believe girls are future leaders in their schools, communities and San Francisco. To see families and communities transformed, we must invest in, equip and mobilize the next generation. With over children growing up in San Francisco's Tenderloin, we are creating space for girls to encounter the love of Christ, discover their voices and be empowered to walk boldly in who they are created to be.
