More than ever before, social justice and economic justice INTERSECT.

They aren't identical, but they have many common points.

Both are about ending the suffering of large groups of people, groups hurt by bigotry and groups hurt by economic and class injustice.

Both are about healing wounds and undoing wrongs.

Both very often affect the SAME people.

The vast majority of people who prioritize "social justice" care deeply about poverty, unemployment, and economic inequality. Most of those in need of gains in the area of "social justice" are disproportionately affected by economic injustice as well. They stand against wage cuts, layoffs, and outsourcing just as they stand against racism, sexism, homo-and-trans phobia, bigotry against immigrants, and bigotry on religious/ethinic grounds.

The vast majority of people who prioritize "economic justice" are also passionately against any form of institutional or grassroots bigotry. They recognize that some groups, due to institutional and grassroots bigotry, are affected more deeply by economic injustice than other groups, and understand that more must be done for particular races and groups than for others. They do not believe, and have never believed in anything like a "colorblind" approach to change.

Supporters of each cause needs the other to succeed if their own cause. And the overwhelming majority in each cause group are also active in the other.

So please, whatever else we do, whoever we might support, let us all agree that the false division, the created division, between "social justice" and "economic justice" advocates MUST BE BROUGHT TO AN END.

We're on the same side.

We're in this together.
