About Us

The winner of both the Harvey Gantt Triumph Award for lasting contributions to civil and human rights and the Lowcountry Diversity Leadership Award: Big Heart awarded by the Charleston Regional Business Journal, the Charleston Area Justice Ministry—CAJM—is a growing network of faith-based congregations who are culturally, economically, geographically and religiously diverse. We come together to make the Charleston area a more just place to live.

Member congregations work together to empower marginalized people in our communities. We accomplish this by conducting research, education and then publicly addressing the root causes of, and solutions to, poverty and injustice in our communities. CAJM is unique in its approach in that it transforms the systems that cause suffering by holding local officials accountable for resolving these inequities and injustices.
