Global Economic Justice
This track will explore the impact of the global economy, including fair trade and debt cancellation, on the human security of our brothers and sisters around the world as well as here in the US. Track participants will engage with policy experts, hear personal testimonies from the Global South and our neighbors here in the States, and learn advocacy strategies to apply in Washington and at home. We will focus on policies that promote broad-based social and economic development that advance true human security and will explore the question: How can people of faith help ensure decent livelihoods for all, promote right relationships among nations, and oppose all forms of economic injustice?
