Educate, Engage, Activate

One Year of the Network for Social Justice

It’s hard to believe on October 6, 2020 that the Winchester Multicultural Network officially became the Network for Social Justice, unveiling its new look, mission, and action arms at an open house launch party in our offices.

While the current pandemic is preventing us from celebrating in person, please know how incredibly grateful we are for the many supporters who have been with us throughout this year of discovery, growth, and action. Read about our many 2019-2020 milestones in our Annual Report.
