Current Initiatives
*This framework from Bailey, D. & Koney, K.M. (2000). Strategic alliances among health and human services organizations: From affiliations to consolidations. Thousand Oaks, CA.: Sage Publications.
The Social Justice Initiative (SJI) is an organization that develops and utilizes strategic alliances with organizations that share our mission to co-produce equitable and sustainable results that surpass any one entity alone.
We believe in the power of relationships formed through generative dialogue and intentional action. The SJI has been very fortunate to develop these relationships of mutual benefit with many different types of stakeholders throughout the years. Below is a list of some of our more recent partners:
