National Conference for Community & Justice - Greater Louisville

Welcome

The National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ), founded in 1927 as the National Conference of Christian and Jews, is a human relations organization dedicated to fighting bias, bigotry and racism in America. NCCJ promotes understanding and respect among all races, religions and cultures through advocacy, conflict resolution and education. Since 1936, NCCJ ?– Greater Louisville (Kentuckiana) Region has provided our community with programs, events and services that focus on the eradication of a broad range of ''isms.'' These multiple manifestations of discrimination and oppression are usually based on one?’s belief system regarding religion, race, age, socio-economic status, gender, sexual orientation, and/or physical ability.

Biases, stereotypes and profiling are real in our community, in many communities in the United States and throughout the world. To confront and overcome them, NCCJ maintains an abiding commitment to work with decision-makers, community leaders and young people toward institutional change. We support their work on a variety of levels to build an inclusive society.

On a national level, NCCJ works in more than 60 regions in 34 states and the District of Columbia to fulfill its mission and build inclusive societies using innovative programming and public policy initiatives that are supported by sound research. Check out the national website at www.nccj.org.
