In San Francisco’s urban core, women and girls are fighting for their futures.
At Because Justice Matters, we are building pathways to brighter futures for women and girls in urban communities.
They are not alone. Because Justice Matters is here.
For nearly 20 years, we’ve walked with women, girls, and families in San Francisco’s Tenderloin.
Rooted in Christ, we keep showing up—offering steady relationships, practical care, and beauty where the world often looks away.
Justice is central to God’s heart. At BJM, it’s not just what we believe. It’s how we live. Together.
Pathways to a brighter future
We believe change starts with presence and flourishes when people are equipped to thrive.
Our Work:
Preventing Violence: Dance, Mentorship & youth programs that build confidence and break cycles early.
Supporting Women & Families: Care bags, groceries & resources that bring dignity and hope.
Raising Young Leaders: Apprenticeships, leadership cohorts & WildFlour Pizza equipping the next generation.
Planting a Church: La Iglesita del Centro (2026), a bilingual neighborhood church rooted in Christ’s love.
Together we’re building a future that’s brighter, stronger and more just.

"I’ve been part of BJM since I was 6, and it’s helped me grow both as a dancer and in my faith. The staff has always been there—whether I needed support or just someone to talk to. Being in the Azul cohort truly deepened my relationship with God and prepared me for what’s next."

"WildFlour catered my graduation party and it was perfect—delicious pizza, easy logistics, and zero stress. I loved knowing my celebration supported a mission that empowers youth. Their food was incredible, and I’d absolutely hire them again."

““Because Justice Matters has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. Growing up with their mentors, I’ve learned, grown, and been supported through every phase of my journey. They gave me a community that stayed with me even when I moved away for college and taught me to have faith in God, trusting that everything will be okay.”
Katelyn, BJM College Student
