2023 Proposed Resolutions

SSSP resolutions constitute an important opportunity for SSSP to take positions on a wide range of social issues, thereby creating a channel for greater visibility and more direct influence upon a variety of “publics,” i.e., fellow activists, scholars, students, decision-makers, social action groups, voters, and others. All current SSSP members are invited to review the 2023 proposed resolutions and participate in the resolutions process. Note: You must be a current member to view or post comments.
