Mission Statement:
As imitators of Christ, Students for Social Justice aims to show love to
our brothers and sisters not only by serving them, but also by advocating
for their rights and equality. We grow as a community when we learn about
topics of social justice and work together to change systems of inequality,
and in this process we strive to strengthen our faith by reflecting on
our experiences through prayer and dialogue.
