Dear Friends,

CHANGES! Lots of changes!

That pretty much sums up the current moment at the Collins House and the Peace & Justice Center.  Here’s what’s happening:

  • We upgraded the bathroom to make it more accessible and remodeled the kitchen so it is more usable, with a new sink and countertop and extra cabinets for storage. We’re not including photos here because we want you to come in and see for yourself!
  • We are saying goodbye to our San Jose State interns and our high school volunteers as they graduate and move on in their lives. We will really miss high school volunteers Prerna, Nisha, and Sean as well as SJSU interns Tyler, Percilla, Kaitlyn and Cesar, shown below with Director Michele Mashburn.

  • New community groups starting up are taking advantage of our “no fee, pass the hat” policy for use of our space. These include the Tech Workers Coalition and Project Now (“connecting youth and politics to create resilient communities”).

In transition: Our web site and calendar are currently under construction and we ask for your patience and support as we upgrade these important tools!

In fact, our need to upgrade both the technology at the Collins House as well as our online presence with a fully functional web site and integrated calendar are a big reason for our Summer Fundraising Appeal. 

Unlike many Bay Area nonprofits, we are not getting grants from Google or any other corporation!

Individual donors fund almost 100% of our education and advocacy efforts so, once again, we are calling on you to support our efforts. You can mail a check to San Jose Peace and Justice Center, 48 S. 7th Street, San Jose, CA 95112. Call us at 408-297-2299 if you have any questions.

We thank you in advance for your ongoing support! Your donation is greatly appreciated.


Michele Mashburn, Director                                              Charlotte Casey, Treasurer

SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, September 21 International Day of Peace Celebration
