Scope and Content

11 containers NCCJ was founded in 1927 as the National Conference of Christians and Jews, in response to anti-Catholic sentiment being expressed during Al Smith's run for the Democratic nomination. Its founders included prominent social activists such as Jane Addams and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes who dedicated the organization to bringing diverse people together to address interfaith divisions. By the late 20th century, NCCJ expanded its work to include all issues of social justice including race, class, gender equity, sexual orientation and the rights of people with different abilities. In the 1990s, the name was changed to the National Conference for Community and Justice to better reflect the breadth and depth of its mission, the growing diversity of the country and the need to be more inclusive. Their mission was to promote "inclusion and acceptance by providing education and advocacy while building communities that are respectful and just for all."[1] In 2005, the national organization dissolved, with individual chapters either closing or becoming independent nonprofits. Today, many of these now independent organizations are members of the National Federation for Just Communities, a network of nonprofits working to promote compassion and justice and fight bias, bigotry and racism in communities across the United States. The organization that serves Northeast Florida is OneJax,an interfaith organization dedicated to achieving civility, understanding and respect for all through education, dialogue and community-building. Our vision is an inclusive community where difference is welcomed and celebrated. OneJax is a member of the National Federation for Just Communities.
