Social justice and advocacy takes on many forms depending on the context, and my different experiences with social change work broaden my perspective on how social justice looks in reality. As a social work student, I believe the interactions between people are the most important relationships in the life of an individual. We all have the ability and responsibility to improve relationships between individuals, and change the social conditions that perpetuate discrimination and inequality. Changes must happen concurrently at the individual and societal level, and the Human Relations Commission can ensure positive social change occurs at the societal level in Orange County.
