Justice Speaks Strategies

Justice Speaks is a woman and BIPOC-led communications firm dedicated to uplifting voices of the disempowered. We provide communications consulting support for progressive nonprofits, unions, and campaigns. 

Our mission is to lift up the voices of the disempowered. We partner with grassroots and worker-led organizations to mobilize their communities through storytelling. We use our communications expertise to fundamentally change the way we talk about collective struggles and our shared humanity. We do this through shaping and amplifying personal narratives to help us envision a world where an equitable life is possible. 

ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES

1. Humanity First –– First and foremost, we recognize the humanity among our team and our clients, and aim to promote a humane work environment, with fair compensation, benefits, resources, and boundaries to ensure all of us can thrive in and outside of work. 
2. Mutual Respect –– We treat each other and our clients with respect, and expect the same from our clients and other partners. We do not tolerate bad behavior, exploitation, or abuse of any kind, and expect the same of all those we work with.
3. Clear Communication –– As communicators, we recognize the importance of clear communication not only about our work, but also about expectations, boundaries, and feedback. We share feedback early and often, and use them as opportunities to strengthen our relationships and work, rather than as points of conflict.
4. Lead From Behind –– We operate in service of our mission without seeking recognition. We put the work first, and let it speak for itself; we are not ego-driven opportunists, but rather are organizers first and foremost. 
5. A Better World –– We are abolitionist, anti-capitalist, feminist, and anti-racist organizers, and all of our client and internal work is oriented toward building a liberatory future for us all––not just the wealthy and powerful.
