The Racial Justice Coalition has a large extended family — so much of what we accomplish is through the collective of allies, volunteers, donors, Coalition supporters, past team members, and the wider WNC ecosystem of community members and organizations. Below is immediate family — those of us working every day under the RJC banner towards collective liberation.
