The Alpha Kappa Alpha Advocate For Social Justice Initiative and Connection Committee, now termed Connection-Social Action Committee developed in the 1980s by International President Faye Bryant,

is an extension of the sorority’s long tradition

of partnering with other national and community-based organizations to empower

the underserved and the voiceless.

The term Connection is based on the concept of linking every member together to maximize resources, expertise and relationships; to work collectively and to collaboratively

identify issues of paramount concern.
