NYC Men for Social Justice is a new group founded by Dr. Martin Schoenhals, a long-time activist. (See “About me.”) We are collecting names and emails and then, in a few months, we will meet in person in a location convenient to all New York City residents. We anticipate a late 2025 first meeting.
The group’s goal will be to engage men in activist projects targeting gender inequality, as described below. (See what we will do.) Why men? First, I believe men need to join the fight for gender justice. Real justice work requires a commitment from those who are higher status as well as those who are lower status. Work for justice should be a commitment of all people; men need to be feminists too.
Second, gender justice needs to include not only the goal of gender equality; also of critical importance is the challenge to toxic masculinity, which is both cause and consequence of gender inequality. We need to recognize that we all pay a price for any form of injustice.
The goal for now: I am collecting names and emails of committed New York City (suburbs too) men, as a first step.
