Georgia Alliance for Social Justice (GAfSJ) was forged from the passion behind Atlanta’s 60,000-strong March for Social Justice and Women in January 2017. The organizers of the event became the founders of a new nonprofit focused on activism for equity and justice. Their challenge was pausing to build a solid base for growth, while actively responding to breaking-news issues.

GAfSJ ran the risk of becoming a moment, instead of a movement.
