Issues: Economic Justice

Economic Justice

From the myriad of domestic and international economic injustices, OSJ primarily focuses on two major issues in the global economic system that have a tremendous impact on those in poverty: trade and debt.

As Christians, we are called to speak on behalf of the poor and advocate for an economic structure which prevents such lasting poverty, because permanent and irrevocable poverty is contrary to the will of God.  Join us in advocating for the least of these!
