CWS Education and Advocacy for International Justice and Human Rights Committee

The Education and Advocacy for International Justice and Human Rights Committee informs and guides CWS efforts to be an effective voice on behalf of justice, peace and the integrity of creation. Committee participants come from CWS member churches, overseas partner agencies, non-member church bodies, grassroots networks, and other ecumenical partner organizations. Their expertise, networks, funding, and collaborative spirit are critical to the effective work of the Education and Advocacy Program.
