What is the Justice in Action Conference?

The Justice in Action Conference (JIA) is a one-day student-focused conference to explore your role in service, community and social change. JIA is a time to develop new skills and knowledge on social justice, foster civic dialogue, and challenge perspectives on social systems.

2026 Justice in Action: What is Justice Without Democracy?

As we celebrate 250 years of signing the Declaration of Independence, we're asking the big question: What is justice without democracy? Join us as we dig into how justice, democracy, and faith shape one another - and how students can keep democracy alive through service, advocacy, and bold imagination.
