WHO WE ARE
South Dakota Voices for Peace and South Dakota Voices for Justice are sister organizations working together on grassroots empowerment and building strategic allyship as well as countering top down legislated hate and fear-mongering against Muslims, immigrants and refugees in SD. Working on both ends of the social change continuum, we strive to live out our vision “to create a SD where the fabric is rich, diverse and inclusive.”
SD Voices for Peace is our educational and legal service arm of our work. SD Voices for Justice is our lobbying and advocacy arm.
