Just Associates (JASS)
JASS (Just Associates) is an international feminist organization founded in 2003 as a community of practice by activists, popular educators, and scholars from 13 countries. Working with women and diverse organizations and social movements in 27 countries, JASS trains and supports activist leadership and grassroots organizing and builds and mobilizes alliances amplified by creative media strategies to influence change in discriminatory institutions, policies and beliefs. Our agile regional and international structure and processes link grassroots activism to local-to-global solidarity and action, placing frontline activists and agendas at the heart of our social justice work. JASS documents the messy process of change to generate cutting-edge knowledge about power, movements and change to shape theory, practice and policies for advancing women’s rights and democratic change.
