Seek Justice

September 8, 2008

By being aware of Social Justice issues we can make choices that will create positive change in our local communities and even on a global scale.

We are called to seek justice.

The good news is there are lots of ways to create positive social change and you don’t need to reinvent the wheel to do it. Get involved with an organization that is already working toward a justice issue that you are passionate about (your local congregation is a great place to start!); Talk to your friends about things you can do in your local community; Use your voice and stand up for what you believe in. There is cause for hope!

Check it out!

Here are a few places where you can find out how to work toward positive social change:
