Social Justice & Human Rights

A new cause for the 12:3 Conspirators to get involved with is the International Justice Mission (IJM).

Gary Haugen serves as President and CEO of International Justice Mission. IJM is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local governments to ensure victim rescue, to prosecute perpetrators and to strengthen the community and civic factors that promote functioning public justice systems. His latest book, Just Courage: God's Great Expedition for the Restless Christian (2008), is a resonant call to courage set on the frontlines of today's battle against violent injustice. I highly recommend Gary's book Good News About Injustice for a great introduction about global injustice.
