What we do

 

Reaching women who are vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking is a key part of our work here at Because Justice Matters. There are a number of ways in which we do this: outreach events that reach women located in the Tenderloin district, spiritual and emotional support for women seeking options out of their situation, free nail painting as a tool to engage women, referrals and assistance for women seeking rehabilitation, services and housing, partnerships with other non profits and government agencies and various awareness events in the Bay Area.

Christmas

 

Holidays Are Coming!! The holiday season is a special time of year for us here at BJM! It's an opportunity to meet new people, be involved in their families in new ways and share the joy that is is Christmas. It's one of our busiest times, as we prepare and wrap gifts, organize parties and outreaches. For many people we work with, the holidays can be a lonely time. Imagine spending Christmas day working in a strip club, or standing on a street corner waiting to be picked up. Imagine the loneliness of being far away from family or never experiencing a meal with people you love or never opening a well thought out gift.

You might consider us "early birds" here at BJM, but because it's such an important time of year, we're already planning! This December we will be decorating some of the dressing rooms in the strip clubs we regularly visit. We'll be decorating, handing out gifts and sharing the love of God in very tangable ways! We'll also be throwing a big Christmas dinner for our ladies in the Tenderloin who regularly attend our nail outreach on Mondays. We have some pretty big needs this year and would like to invite you and your faith community to join us in making Christmas EXTRA special for the women we work with.
