“They really care about you, they really build relationships”: Care and justice in a community organization

Abstract

Contemporary United States society is marked by exacerbated economic inequity and deep sociopolitical polarization, which increases a sense of precarity among marginalized communities. There is growing need to develop and foster practices that promote care and justice for marginalized communities. Organizational settings designed with the intent of supporting marginalized communities may possess unique knowledge related to actualizing care and promoting justice. Through analysis of ethnographic field notes and qualitative interviews conducted with 22 participants at the organization, this study examines organizational policies and practices of everyday decision-making at a drop-in center for women and gender non-conforming people in Washington State, USA. Findings document how policies and practices at the center promote care and justice for diverse marginalized groups. Implications for promoting equitable values in social settings more broadly are discussed.
