WEJust
(Wyoming Equal Justice)
What is WEJust?
WEJust (Wyoming Equal Justice) is a ministry of the Episcopal Church in Wyoming dedicated to building a Beloved Community of healers, justice makers, and reconcilers across our state.
Born out of the 2024 Diocesan Convention and its landmark resolutions on racial reconciliation, WEJust grew from what was first called the Equal Justice Initiative Task Force. Today, WEJust is a broad coalition of lay and clergy leaders committed to truth-telling, healing, and restorative justice. Oversight is provided by the Diocesan Council, with clergy and lay co-chairs guiding the work.
