“…The growing inequalities affecting humanity and the urgent search for answers to the global problems affecting our communities require a search for new frameworks (Wolff et al, 2016). This need is reflected in theories and models of health equity (Braveman et al, 2011), critical theory (De Vita, 2014), critical race theory (Delgado & Stefancic, 2000), structural racism (Wolff et al, 2016), feminist theory (Riger, 2017), civil rights (Jenkins & Morris, 1984), disability rights (Charlton, 2000), LGBTQ rights (Samuels et al, 2019), and reproductive justice (Ross, 2011).…”

Community‐based participatory research (CBPR) approaches to promoting justice focus on working from the ground up and giving a voice to marginalized communities regarding their concerns, potential solutions, and how to address social justice issues that matter to them. The pursuit of justice is often related to efforts to attain personal as well as collective well‐being. In this paper, we illustrate three exemplars of community psychologists' efforts to promote justice. Within each case study, we discuss the social and community context and examine how the researchers built partnerships and solidarity, developed ways of doing, and approached challenges and solutions. First, we present an example to promote economic justice through an entrepreneurship initiative developed in collaboration with young Black youth with disabilities in the United States. The second case illustrates an effort to promote reproductive justice in collaboration with Roma women and girls in Spain. The third exemplar depicts the use of life stories as a method to raise the voices of displaced, marginalized indigenous women in Peru. Based on these three case studies, we present a synthesis model of social justice. We also discuss implications for future studies emphasizing the importance of engaging community participants in research meaningful ways, developing sustainable partnerships, and decolonizing research.

“…Justice and equity scholars often focus on the moral discourse of the role of societies and governments to provide opportunities for all to thrive through work, play, and have a healthy life (Braveman & Suarez-Balcazar, 2009). Social justice conceptualizations have been informed by discourses on critical theory (de Vita, 2014), equity (Corning, 2015), social and economic injustice, and structural racism (Wolff, et al, 2017).…”

Vulnerable populations are exposed to several disparities and inequalities representing an infringement of social justice and limiting their opportunities to live healthy and fulfilling lives. Latinx immigrant families with youth and young adults with disabilities represent one such vulnerable population. The purpose of this article is to describe and discuss the participation of Latinx immigrant families of youth and young adults with disabilities in two interrelated civic engagement projects aimed at promoting social justice and community participation. First, we will discuss the conceptual framework of social justice that grounded these cases of civic engagement, and then we will describe two case studies. Both cases of civic engagement emerged from Latinx immigrant families as part of meaningful conversations they had with the research team related to healthy lifestyles and community participation. The first case of civic engagement addresses walkability safety, and the second describes a community-engaged asset-mapping process. These two cases of civic engagement provided participants an opportunity to advocate for justice. Finally, we discuss the implications and challenges that vulnerable populations experience in making their voices heard by those in positions of power.
