Injustice at Home
U.S. injustice has deep historical roots: the theft of Native American lands, slavery, centuries of racism and anti-immigrant policies, and profound income and wealth inequality. The legacies of these injustices persist and intersect today. The median wealth of a Black or Latinx family is only a small faction of that of a white family. Native American water and lands continue to be devastated by petroleum pipelines, coal and uranium mining. Muslim-Americans have experienced a wave of Islamophobia, while individuals seeking to enter the U.S. at our southern border are denied the right to seek asylum and detained in pens. UFPJ was founded on the principle that there will be no true peace without addressing the myriad injustices of U.S. society.
