Where is justice in all of this?

The new issues surrounding immigration call for a new definition of justice. As immigration causes the United States to be more of a multicultural society, those working for social justice must address the issues of immigration and serve people belonging to all different cultures. For example:

· Catholic Social Teaching believes that we are all one family under God and should all be treated as such. http://www.justiceforimmigrants.org/social-teachings.html

· Centro de la Raza is a Seattle organization that works to promote justice by serving the needs of the Hispanic community. “El Centro de la Raza is a voice and a hub for Seattle and Martin Luther King, Jr. County’s Latino community as we advocate on behalf of our people and work to achieve social justice. Through our comprehensive programs and services, we empower members of the Latino community as fully participating members of society. We also work to raise awareness with the general public, and government, business and civic leaders about the needs of the Chicano/Latino community in the United States.” http://www.elcentrodelaraza.com/aboutus.htm
