Who We Are
The Social Justice Centres Working Group (SJCWG) is a consortium of community-based organizations collectively known as Social Justice Centres.
Established in the wake of the historic Saba Saba “March for Our Lives” on July 7, 2018, SJCWG emerged to connect and amplify the shared struggles of communities across the country. What began as a moment of collective resistance has grown into a coordinated movement rooted in solidarity, accountability, and people-powered change.
Through collaboration, organizing, and advocacy, we work to strengthen grassroots efforts and advance social, economic, and political justice for all.
Today, the Social Justice Centres Working Group brings together over 90 Social Justice Centres across more than 20 counties in Kenya and beyond.
Through this growing network, SJCWG leads grassroots advocacy against human rights violations, amplifies community voices, and strengthens collective action at both local and national levels.
