Pizza & Social Justice: From Glen Ellyn potlucks to incorporation

Pizza & Social Justice, conceived around a local couple's dining table, is now incorporated as an Illinois 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization under IRS rules.

In 2012, Adrian and Nancy McKee began inviting a few friends to their home for Saturday potluck dinners, fellowship, and conversations about current events.

Viral videos of police killings of people of color, civil unrest, and an upsurge in toxic rhetoric led to recurring questions:

• How did we come to this?

• How can we replace divisiveness with unity?

When someone says pizza, social justice is not usually the first thing that comes to mind. Yet the two have become a couple, thanks to a handful of people led by Nancy and Adrian McKee who live near Glen Ellyn, Illinois.

Pizza and Social Justice Presents "The Long Shadow"

Pizza and Social Justice had our first public event in July 24, 2018 at Glenbard South High School showing the documentary "The Long Shadow".

"The Long Shadow" is a film about racism from the point of view of the filmmaker, Frances Causey who was seeking to find out about her family's slave owning past, and the role her ancesters played in the story and politics of our country's unspoken history of racism.

The film was attended by more than 80 people, who after the presentation, participated in discussion inspired by the documentary.
