CPJ is a national organization of members inspired by faith to act for justice in Canada by shaping key policy debates through research and analysis, publishing and public dialogue. We are a faithful response to God’s call for love, justice and stewardship. We envision a world in which individuals, communities, societal institutions and governments all contribute to and benefit from the common good. CPJ defines public justice as the political dimension of loving one’s neighbour, caring for creation and achieving the common good. It is particularly the responsibility of government and citizens. On January 1, 2006, CPJ began operating as a fully registered federal charity (CJL Foundation: 89438 3512 RR0001). All donations (including membership donations) are now tax deductible.

Samara’s research and educational programming began with Canada's first ever series of exit interviews with former MPs. This set the standard for our high quality research and public programming. Through our Samara Democracy Reports, we continue to advance an ambitious research agenda that shines new light on Canada’s democratic system and serves as a resource to increase Canadians’ understanding of politics. This will culminate in the Samara Index, an annual report that will draw attention to the relationship between citizens and Canada’s political process. Through our Samara in the Classroom programs we adapt our research into materials that encourage new ways of teaching politics, and Democracy Talks, our national public outreach initiative, provides Canadians, including young people and new Canadians, with a platform to discuss how politics can better reflect their daily lives.
