Social Justice Coalition (Egypt)

The Social Justice Coalition (Egypt) was an Egyptian political coalition formed in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution. It aimed to advocate for social and economic justice policies within the framework of a democratic Egypt. The coalition brought together a diverse range of political parties, movements, and independent activists representing various ideological perspectives, including socialists, Nasserists, and liberals.

Key goals of the coalition typically included addressing issues such as poverty, unemployment, inequality, access to education and healthcare, and workers' rights. They often called for reforms to the economic system, including land redistribution, fairer taxation, and greater government regulation of the economy to benefit marginalized groups.

The Social Justice Coalition engaged in various political activities, including participating in elections, organizing protests and demonstrations, and lobbying the government to adopt policies aligned with their objectives. The specific composition and activities of the coalition evolved over time, reflecting the changing political landscape in Egypt following the revolution.

Following the 2013 military coup and subsequent crackdown on dissent, the coalition faced significant challenges and limitations on its ability to operate effectively. Many of its members faced arrest, imprisonment, and other forms of repression, hindering its ability to advocate for its platform and goals.
