In an effort to increase its outreach within the community, Mothers for Justice launched a new Web site: www.mothersforjustice.com.
“We are extremely excited to expand our activism to the Internet,” explained MFJ co-chair Maria Loya. “The Web site will help bring Mothers for Justice closer to the people.”
The group is known for fighting for policy change to strengthen the civil rights of youths of color within the Santa Monica Unified School District community.
Mothersforjustice.com will serve as a portal for students‚ provide rights information and tools to help parents fight violations and establish links to resources within the community.
Visitors can contact MFJ through the Web site and sign up to receive e-mail updates. Also included on the site is an electronic copy of Institutionalized Racism in the Santa Monica — Malibu School District: Its Impact on Students of Color, a report submitted to the SMMUSD School Board by Mothers for Justice, which has led to major policy changes within the school district.
