JUST Pensacola



We are a month and a half out from JUST's biggest event of the year, the Nehemiah Action on April 28, and there is a ton happening!


The Mental Health Research Committee has created the problem statement which defines the breakdowns that are occurring in our community's mental healthcare. Check it out here: JUST Pensacola 2026 Issue Focus: Mental Health -- Problem Statement


The JUST Rally is coming up on Tuesday, March 24th. The number of folks at the Rally directly impacts the number of folks at the Nehemiah Action and so the amount of progress we can make, so it is really important that all Network Members and anyone interested be there! Check out the flier here: Rally flyer


It takes a lot of folks to make the JUST Rally and Nehemiah Action happen. If you'd like to volunteer, please sign up here:  Rally (3/24/26) Volunteers - Sign up ; Nehemiah Action (4/28/26) Volunteers - Sign up. *****High School Students, if you are interested in volunteering, call or text Tricia Wessell (Lead Organizer for JUST Pensacola) at (414) 232-3900. Tricia can work with you on volunteer times according to your school schedule.


JUST is partnering with CivicCon for a really cool event on April 7th. Check out that info here: CivicCon Workshop and Bio Pages
