The Commission for Social Justice (CSJ) is known as the anti-defamation arm of the Order Sons of Italy in America. The Commission works to ensure equal respect for all people, especially Italian-American. Collectively, organizations such as the CSJ represent more than 23 million Americans of Italian descent. Most are the decedents of the 3.8 million Italian immigrants who came to the United States between 1899-1924. In New Jersey, 17.9% of the population claim Italian ancestry. Italians are currently the states largest ethnic group. The Town of Hammonton has the highest percentage of Italian Americans and Toms River has the largest number, with 27,279 residents of Italian heritage.
