NCCJ - The National Conference for Community & Justice
Non-profit Organizations
NCCJ is working to make our communities a better place for all of us, not just some of us, but all of us.
About us
-Mission- The National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ) is a human relations organization that promotes inclusion and acceptance by providing education and advocacy while building communities that are respectful and just for all. NCCJ celebrates all areas of diversity while advancing equality, promoting justice and building community. -History- Founded in 1927 as the National Conference for Christians and Jews, in response to anti-Catholic sentiment being expressed during Al Smith's run for the Democratic nomination, NCCJ's founders included prominent social activists such as Jane Addams and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes. They dedicated the organization to bringing diverse people together to address interfaith divisions. Several years later NCCJ expanded its work to include all issues of social justice including race, class, gender equity, sexual orientation and the rights of people with different abilities. In the 1990’s, the name was changed to the National Conference for Community and Justice to better reflect the breadth and depth of its mission, the growing diversity of our country and our need to be more inclusive. Over the course of 80 years, the New England-based NCCJ has continued to draw upon its proud tradition of championing the cause of social justice for all, and its mission of fighting bias, bigotry and racism in all its forms and to work toward building strong and inclusive communities.
