Defining Charity and Justice

Michael Tubbs, City of Stockton

Michael Tubbs, a fellow and lecturer at the Stanford d.school, contrasts two approaches to addressing societal woes. He describes charity as an important but temporary fix that involves a simple donation of resources, whereas justice means committing one’s talents, time and entire self to finding a systemic solution. “That’s the only way we as a society will progress,” Tubbs says.
