No, corporate social justice usually means low impact changes that don’t affect the bottom line.
I’m saying that speaking as someone who’s been on one of those social justice teams and was frustrated to discover we were mostly there for PR reasons.
- whimsicalism 6y agoSure, but here the key word seems to be "corporate" and perhaps D&I, rather than social justice as a concept, which is much more all-encompassing, and includes stuff like pushing for a union, paying workers a living wage, as well as recognizing that racism is a real thing.
- jjj123 6y agoThat’s fair, I agree with your definition of social justice generally, but I think the way it’s wielded by the powerful usually defangs the term. And that watered down definition has become the more common colloquial definition imo.
