Justice needs every voice. Stand with those facing hunger, poverty and displacement. Together, when we raise our voices for justice, hope and compassion grow and lasting change becomes possible.

Around the world, people face injustice—from hunger and poverty to displacement and disaster. Through advocacy, community organizing and CWS-supported programs, you can amplify their voices and help communities rebuild with lasting resilience.

This Giving Tuesday, be a voice for justice. You can spark real change, ensuring the stories, needs and rights of our most vulnerable neighbors are seen, met and defended, helping guide communities toward hope.

We Can Be a Voice for Justice

We can stand up for people seeking safety. Take action to protect the rights and programs that give refugees and asylum seekers a chance to rebuild their lives and find a safe place to call home.

We can speak up for justice and compassion. Advocate for laws and policies that protect our most vulnerable neighbors and help create a safer, more equitable world.

We can help empower others to use their voice and take action; encourage community members to share resources and participate in civic activities that help create a more just and compassionate world.

We can join with others to create lasting change, through leadership in faith-based and humanitarian groups and by mobilizing Covenant Members in shared advocacy, to amplify compassion and justice around the world.

We can support refugees as they lead with courage and vision. Help provide training and platforms that equip and elevate refugee leaders to share their stories, advocate for change and inspire their communities.

We can help build global partnerships rooted in compassion and justice and collaborate with international agencies and CWS leadership to advance refugee protection, climate action and humanitarian relief.
