Just Communities of Arkansas
Confronting prejudice. Challenging assumptions. Creating understanding.

Just Communities of Arkansas (JCA) is a human relations organization, which brings people together to achieve inclusion, equity and justice for all.

Since 1964, JCA has served Arkansas citizens by addressing a number of social justice topics. Regardless of the ethnicity, culture, race or religious beliefs of the community it serves, the goal of JCA has been consistent: to encourage people of all races, religions and ethnic backgrounds to work toward mutual respect and cooperation while maintaining their distinct heritages.

Founded as a regional office of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, Just Communities of Arkansas is a National Federation for Just Communities board member. As a coalition of like-minded organizations, the National Federation for Just Communities works across America to bring the values of diversity, inclusion and social justice to our communities, schools, workplaces and institutions.
