Getting plugged in


Life is pretty busy, we all know that, so keeping track of what's going on in your favourite network for activists, optimists and ordinary radicals can sometimes feel hard.

With this in mind, we are striving to make it as easy as possible for you to keep to keep up to date with what's going on at Justice Matters through the communication channel of your choice. To this end, we have a Facebook Page (please Like us!), a Twitter feed (please follow us!), updates on this website and we also circulate weekly email updates to members on our distribution list. Given that email is the most accessible channel, all the most important information is shared this way, so if you are not yet on our list and would like to be, please just drop us an email and we'll get that fixed.

We don't want to spam you with a hundred emails as week, so not everything we share on Facebook or this site goes out by email. For the full experience therefore you probably need to keep on eye on Facebook or this website. But don't worry if you don't have time to keep checking in to see if anything is new - you can sign up to receive blog updates direct to your email inbox using the box on the right of the page. Alternatively, subscribe to our RSS feed to consume our updates in Google Reader.


Hopefully we've made it possible for you to find the information you need in the way that works best for you. Our intention is to make it as easy as possible to know what's going on and thus how to get involved with the network. We aspire to be a significant, dynamic community of individuals, both active in our areas of interest and interconnected with each other. In light of that, we invite you to take your engagement with us seriously - please read our updates and make time to attend our gatherings. Likewise, if you come across stories, campaigns or articles that you'd like to share with other members of the community, do post them on the Facebook Page or email them to us and we'll put them on here.

In an age of consumer capitalism, active participation in anything is fairly counter-cultural. It is our belief however, that the only way that we will see real change in our communities and across our world, is for people to reject the consumerist approach to life in favour of a more intentional lifestyle that 'seek[s] the peace and prosperity of the city' rather than self-interest and personal gratification. This is the idea at the heart of Justice Matters. Thanks for coming this far with us. We hope you'll join in striving to continue living it out.
