The New Jersey Institute for Social Justice is a Newark-based, urban research and advocacy organization dedicated to the advancement of New Jersey’s urban areas and residents. It is our strong conviction that urban areas of New Jersey hold remarkable potential to act as regionally competitive economic engines while providing resilient, vital and attractive communities to their residents. It is our work to identify, analyze and address the underlying causes of social and economic disparities and to challenge the barriers that constrain cities and their residents from achieving their full potential.
