If the phrase “Social Justice” bothers you or makes you roll your eyes you’re probably contributing to a problem.

I didn’t think I’d have to spell this out but apparently I do. “Social Justice” is literally just a call to action against social/societal issues.

These issues can include (but are not limited to):

Racism

Homophobia

Transphobia

Biphobia and bi-erasure

Sexism

Misogyny and transmisogyny

Global anti-blackness

Rape Culture

Cultural appropriation & fetishization

Colonialism and genocide

Classism

Media’s role in relation to any of these things

Social justice isn’t “justice via social networking***” which is what I presume your eye rolling is directed toward and not because of some disdain over caring about these very serious issues. If your eye rolling is out of disdain for caring about these issues, kindly crawl back to the sewer from which you slithered from.

***This isn’t to say that social networking isn’t an effective form of activism
