‘Love Does’ author opens Justice Week

April 3, 2013 by Josh Garcia

One Chapel forum opportunity remains as part of this year’s Justice Week.

The annual Justice Week features events revolving around international social justice. The week kicked off Monday with a presentation by Red Thread Movement and a Chapel forum led by author Bob Goff, who also spoke during Tuesday’s Chapel.

Gerald Britt, vice president of Public Policy and Community Program Development at CitySquare – Dallas, led a forum Tuesday evening, followed by Ryan Groves, CEO of Wishing Well.

While there will be no forum Wednesday, the ACU Locavore club will conduct a fundraiser dinner at Bonterra Blu at 7 p.m. and will provide a farmers’ market the following day at 5 p.m. Later Thursday evening at 6 p.m., journalist and activist Sally Fallon will lead a Chapel forum on ‘justice for small farms.’ At 7:30, the Amphitheater will play host to a sampling of slam poetry.

Justice Week will wrap up Saturday with the In the RED Fashion Show at 7:30 p.m. in the Windsor Hotel. Proceeds will go to fighting sex trafficking in Nepal.

Sarah Ratliff, senior marketing major from Lake Kiowa and Justice Week head chair, said she was happy and thrilled with how Justice Week has turned out.

“There is a little bit for everyone at every forum, so I encourage students who are ready to adopt Bob’s ‘let’s do something’ attitude to attend and find a way to get plugged in,” she said.
