King's Social Justice and Peace Club

Our Vision
The vision of the Social Justice and Peace Club is to bring together the students and faculty of Kings University College. On a broader scale, we would like to see our local community come together as one; working together on behalf of the disadvantaged, to challenge both local and international injustices. We want to use our education as a tool for change, to spread awareness, to ignite a passion, and to act.

Mission of the Social Justice Club is to:- Ignite passion in others to learn about social justice issues and to challenge mainstream thinking;

- Encourage positive social change through action and education;

- Celebrate diversity and community;

- Empower all

The yearly agenda for the Social Justice Club is created under the direction of the Executive Committee and of course our members! We ask that you provide us with any ideas, suggestions or concerns at any point during the year. We encourage students at all levels and in all programs to take part in the events we have planned for the up-coming school year. Such events include: protests, the speakers series, campaigns on campus, fundraising, walks to raise awareness, movie nights, information sessions, discussion nights and so much more!! Members are encouraged to take part in the Social Justice Club in any way that is comfortable, as a participant, observer or an organizer. We are a student led club and we are committed to using our education to bring about positive social change. We hope that we can be effective in these tasks and we ask for your support.
