Our Mission

DSEJ’s purpose is to organize and empower low- to moderate-income communities in the State of Delaware.  DSEJ neighborhood chapters, made up of low- to moderate-income members, will take up issues that directly affect their families and communities.  DSEJ’s membership, leadership, staff and allies believe that the best advocates for troubled low- to moderate-income communities are empowered residents who are directly affected by injustices such as renters neglect, economic discrimination, substandard housing, poor-quality education, and environmental hazards. Through leadership training and organizing community members around issues affecting them, DSEJ’s goal is to equip community members with the necessary tools and skills to lead policy initiates related to the issues (e.g. foreclosure), thus sparking institutional change in Delaware.
