New Hampshire's North Star for Advancing Justice & Equity
About us
The N.H. Center for Justice and Equity (NHCJE) is a non-profit focused on advancing issues of racial, economic justice, and health equity in New Hampshire. NHCJE works across the state of New Hampshire fostering dialogue among Granite Staters, developing actionable solutions to systemic racism that better reflect New Hampshire’s realities and values. The NHCJE will focus on New Hampshire’s communities of color and similarly marginalized communities. NHCJE acts as a Convener across various stakeholders and sectors, building relationships and power, by engaging with, and encouraging more people to take part in fostering human and capital resource sharing. The work of the NH Center for Justice & Equity is organized in a manner that encourages communication, coordination, and collaboration across issues and opportunities. This is in recognition that long-term sustainable social change requires a deep understanding of complex systems, power sharing, and trust. All these factors must be aligned and simultaneously addressed, if NHCJE is to achieve its long-term, population-level outcomes.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, NHCJE would like to highlight the Hispanic & Latino trailblazers found in our Icon series. Cesar Chavez, an icon in our first series, a prominent figure in the American labor movement, dedicated his life to advocating for the rights of farm workers and marginalized communities. Through his leadership of the United Farm Workers (UFW) and his tireless advocacy for the rights of farmworkers, Chavez emerged as a beacon of hope and a symbol of resilience for the labor movement.

For decades, Volunteer NH has played a vital role in fostering civic engagement and building community across New Hampshire through volunteerism. Volunteer NH’s internal journey toward justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) stands out as a powerful testament to its commitment to ensuring that all Granite Staters, regardless of background, have space within the service sector. The New Hampshire Center for Justice & Equity (NHCJE) spoke with Volunteer NH’s staff and Board Members to discover the unique ways that make the organization’s pursuit of these values more authentic.

This makes the Hispanic & Latino population the largest minority group in the state. Swipe through for more information on national trends in Hispanic population growth, the Hispanic population in NH & how it has grown over the years, and the dominance of Spanish speaking in the state.

Keep up the GREAT WORK Anne Pasmanick and John Holdsclaw IV (jhiv). You continue to inspire!
"We don't want to be a fake equity organization. We believe strongly that equity matters. I'll be in some rooms where I talk about shared equity and they say. 'we don't talk about equity anymore, it tends to turn people off, to make them uncomfortable.' I feel that the highest level of learning happens during discomfort." OF COURSE you know John Holdsclaw IV (jhiv), President and CEO of Rochdale Capital, a community development loan fund dedicated to growing shared equity and cooperative ownership in under-resourced communities of color. He is also my first guest on Power Hour, a Power Station Podcast series that invites social change leaders to share what concerns and animates them, beyond their organizational roles, in the nonprofit sector and our society. In this episode, John talks about the literal removal of equity as an investment and policy imperative and its real-life consequences, including the failure of nonprofit Boards of Directors to support new leadership of color. John speaks to the trauma that Black Americans often experience in relation to financial services, a wrong that he is deeply committed to overcoming. There is so much here, you will need to LISTEN to capture it all! Once you do, please repost and share! https://bit.ly/4ewbIMl
