About Us

Our Beliefs

Yorktown for Justice brings together our residents and neighbors to work collaboratively towards equity and justice in our community through education, advocacy and activism. We are actively working to make structural changes to address social inequities evident in our local area. We aim to partner with community members and various administrations and establishments in Yorktown on issues of inclusivity, diversity, and multicultural appreciation and celebration. We hope to support various facets of the community including town government, the local police department, parks and recreation and local event planning, and the Board of Education. We strive to work towards a material change in the quality of life for everyone living in Yorktown.

Are you an artist, or do you want to work with artists to bring cultural events to town like music, film screenings and festivals?

I am hopeful for our community, YFJ is the voice we need to help move our community forward. Less talk more action!

The newly organized YFJ embodies the energy and sense of community that has already enriched Yorktown. As long time town residents who, in 2019 ran for Town Board to help forge change, we are both pleased and proud to know that this grassroots organization, born right here in our town, is poised to lead us into the future.
