5K for Justice is more than a race. It is a movement for equality, dignity, and community empowerment. Join us for a 5K walk or run around Jamaica Pond and show your support for justice while promoting health and connection. Every step you take helps advance the mission of the Brazilian Worker Center and contributes to building a stronger, more inclusive society. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your presence makes a difference.
One race. One cause. Together for justice.
Running is more than just a physical activity; it’s a powerful symbol of determination, solidarity, and the pursuit of justice.
The 5K for Justice brought together community members, families, and organizations for a day of movement and solidarity.
The event was held on October 5, 2025, at Jamaica Pond in Boston.
Stay tuned for the 2026 edition!
