SJOS MISSION
The Social Justice Olympics Summit seeks to bring together key stakeholders to develop evidence-based strategies essential to resource allocation and pandemic preparedness to include local collaborative response efforts and shared spaces for information sharing that can be deployed in future responses. The Summit sessions may also inform public policies and resource allocation priorities, potentially reduce social injustices, build local community response capacity and promote community resilience.
