Jass

JASS was founded in 2002 by a group of long-time colleagues from 12 countries connected by common political struggles, over decades in some cases. A uniquely agile global network of respected human rights activists, community organizers, popular educators and scholars, the organization is known for pioneering social justice and women's rights education, training, strategies and action-research, and for accessible how-to materials about political and social change. Innovative programs through our history combine the tried-and-tested local to global activism of our network, a long history of strong political and personal relationships, and opportunities presented by evolving communications. Within feminist movements and social justice struggles, JASS uses our many connections to participate as an activist; from the outside, JASS takes the part of strategist and "honest broker," facilitating connections at local, national and regional levels.
