Just Action!

How to Advocate and Mobilize for Justice

JustFaith_Mark

Consider your church, organization, JustFaith Ministries small group, and/or yourself as an individual...

  • Do you want to take action for justice, but you aren’t quite sure how to get started?
  • Are you already taking action for justice, but you’d like to learn how to be more effective in your work?
  • Do you want to get your family, friends, church, or community involved, but you sometimes feel you are the only one doing the work? 

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this program was written for you and your community!

Program Overview

Just Action! How to Advocate and Mobilize for Justice guides small groups in taking sustainable, effective, and faith-filled action for justice. Groups begin by discerning a justice concern they would like to address together. Then, with that justice concern in mind, participants learn how to stand in solidarity with those affected by the issue, mobilize others for action, and advocate effectively for lasting change.

JUST FAITH TESTIMONIALS

What They’re Saying

Matt Rollins
First Baptist Greenville, SC
“The Just Action program is a vital resource for any group feeling called to justice ministry. I especially appreciated the time allotted to applying the conversations to local problems, as well as the step-by-step guided process for how to begin advocating for those in the community who are being affected by the issues we identified. Wherever you are on your journey in justice ministry, this is an excellent curriculum for honing your sense of engagement and advocacy in your community.”
Br. Christopher Anesi, OSFM
“As always being one of those “behind the scenes” people, I have realized that I must do more to care for God’s creation! This program helped me to understand and focus those efforts. I have learned strategies and processes that will help me to get out in front and to be an agent for the change that needs to happen.”
Alecia Brewster
Village Engage, Greenville, SC
“Just Action greatly expanded my understanding of advocacy and it enhanced my advocacy skills. The print and video resources, small group discussions, individual and group activities provided a framework that I am actively using in multiple ways. Additionally, our Just Action small group developed a template that we are using for ongoing discussion and for future action around housing and related issues.”
