In the wake of the recent nationwide reckoning with matters of social justice, racism, and police brutality, Temple student-athletes have publicly advocated for change and have formed a group to advance their cause called "Owls For Justice." Owls For Justice is the social justice and reform group that will handle matters related to organizing responses to injustices, providing resources to educate our athletes, staff, and community, and facilitating initiatives to change our campus and environment for the better. Owls For Justice has at least one student-athlete representative from each athletic team on the Leadership Board to ensure each team is directly involved in making a difference.
