LINKING FAITH & RACIAL JUSTICE: A PRESENTATION BY THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF GREATER LANSING MICHIGAN

Historic Gardencourt | RSVP TODAY!

The Justice League of Greater Lansing Michigan grew out of the realization of the Social Justice and Mission Committee at First Presbyterian Lansing that more needed to be done to actively address systemic and structural racism. The Justice League of Greater Lansing exists to work with churches and institutions everywhere to work to repair the breach caused by the historical damage of slavery and its aftermath. In the spirit of repentance for the sin of racism, we seek to build relationships and facilitate reparations between houses of worship and collaborative partners to increase wealth equity for African Americans in the Greater Lansing Area.
