Achieving Universal Transformational Justice
The Arc of Justice Network (AJN) follow in the footsteps on the Justice for All Network (JFAN), founded in March 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the world and forced most of us to hibernate and, for those fortunate 80% of us with broadband access, to discover the magic of Zoom technology. Our Sunday Strategy Group — what one of our members called “a think tank with a heart” — quickly adopted the title Justice for All Network, to match our deep commitment to achieving Universal Transformational Justice (UTJ), inspired by the United Nations’ unanimously-adopted Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), on December 10, 1948.
The JFAN group went through several iterations until early January 2025, when it quietly, informally disbanded. But its legacy lives on as I partnered with an old political friend, Rob Kall, almost immediately after the malignant narcissist officially returned to the White House on January 20. The constant threads that coursed through JFAN’s work in the form of shared vision, shared values, and shared mission (see below) continue to pulse with the more systematic work of the Arc of Justice Alliance infrastructure project and now, with the intentional spinoff and complementary strategic and alliance-building work of the Arc of Justice Network.
