The International Justice Mission is initiating Justice Week from Feb. 25-March 1 to raise awareness of human trafficking.

Rachel Jones, senior communications major from San Antonio and president of IJM, said some of the events have not yet been determined.

On Feb. 25, Dave Rogers, director of law enforcement operations at the Human Trafficking Institute, will be the guest speaker during Moody Chapel.

The campus chapter of the American Enterprise Institute will join IJM in hosting a dinner on Feb. 25.

Jones said the AEI is based in Washington, D.C. and focuses on informing college students on how to be a good member of society.

Rogers will attend the dinner and speak about continuing to seek justice against human trafficking, as well as his work as the former national program manager for human trafficking in the FBI.

IJM will also partner with the Red Thread Movement for an event on Feb. 26.

On Feb. 26, IJM will have a table set up in the campus center advertising their featured event, “Speak Up.”

Jones said “Speak Up” is an opportunity for students to call congressmen and endorse funding for the Modern Slavery Act.

“{‘Speak Up’} is really important, and will be initiated with hundreds of other college chapters across the nation who are all doing it the same day and the same time,” said Jones.

Vic McCracken, Bible professor and faculty sponsor for IJM, said he will speak at the Missions Chapel on Feb. 28.

The Missions Chapel is organized by Halbert Institute of Missions, which is responsible for World Wide Witness and the short and long-term summer internships.

McCracken said he has not yet chosen a topic for his discussion but is certain his topic will include applying God’s justice to the world as a Christian.

A night of prayer for victims of human trafficking will occur on the night of Feb. 28.

Jones said she has a great team of people helping her with planning Justice Week.

“I’m just excited to see how God uses this movement to spread awareness about the need for justice in this world specifically the people enslaved currently,” Jones said.
