About

400 SE 12th Ave, at Oak St.

The Social Justice Action Center (SJAC) is a grassroots non-profit 501(c)3 organization that operates a community space in inner Southeast Portland, Oregon.

SJAC supports grassroots community organizing and we have several programs:

  • Managing a community space for events, meetings, and retreats
  • Hosting storage in our basement
  • Offering community events, film series, and discussions.
  • Coordinating a community commercial kitchen

SJAC prioritizes the leadership of marginalized communities, especially those of color. In particular, we recognize the sovereignty of Indigenous peoples, such as the Multnomah and other Chinookan villages of the confluence of these great rivers and the Kalapuya and Molalla peoples in the nearby hills and valleys (some of whose descendants are now part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, of Siletz, and of Warm Springs).
