What is Justice Together?

Justice Together is a non-profit multi-faith organization building people-power with diverse congregations across Sedgwick County, Kansas. Our mission is to build a voice of the people so large that it cannot be ignored, and to mobilize that voice for doing justice in Sedgwick County. We seek to advocate for changes that address the root causes of our community’s most pressing problems.

Current Work

The 2026 Nehemiah Assembly brought out over 1,400 people. Because of this power, we got commitments from 3 Council members on affordable housing. We are also continuing to organize around solutions for gun violence prevention.

Commitments from the 2026 Nehemiah Action include:

Transparency – The council agreed to adopt nationally
recognized best practices for the Affordable Housing
Fund.
$30 million over three years – Council members
committed to voting YES on Wichita Housing Director
Sally Stang’s braided funding plan for affordable housing.
A vote for the people – They committed to putting
affordable housing and homelessness on the ballot as a
stand-alone sales tax issue by the end of 2027.
