Our Mission

Our History

Our Mission

 

The National Council for Urban Peace and Justice is an organization which has a dual mission.


We  are a social advocacy group committed to pursuing justice, fairness and  equity regarding housing, education, community-police relations, health  care, family development, political empowerment, the environment and  economic development.


We are also a human services agency  providing a variety of services specifically targeted for individuals,  families and communities who are 'at risk' for involvement in drug  and/or gang-related violence.


Since our beginning, we have been in  the vanguard of the struggle to end the epidemic of urban violence: a  violence often fueled by combinations of racism, white-supremacy,  deteriorating social conditions, self-hatred, decadence and public  policies of 'benign neglect'.


Throughout it all, the National Council for Urban Peace and Justice (NCUPJ) has maintained an uncompromising commitment to the urban peace and justice movement.


The struggle for urban peace, social justice and spiritual redemption continues...

SUPPORT THE MOVEMENT FOR URBAN PEACE AND JUSTICE!
