October Update

Its the start of a new month and another chance to get together and explore what it means to "learn to do right [and] seek justice". We had an excellent first session of our new theme, with practical tips on reducing your water impact from Dave Farnworth and inspiring real-life stories from Wendy, who challenged us to consider what disturbs us and find out how to get involved in solving it. For her, that has meant stepping out in faith to work alongside clubbers, addicts, sex workers and trafficked women. In each case, it was about stepping out and being willing to embrace opportunities and connections. What would embracing an opportunity to step out mean for you?

Our pub gatherings this term will compliment the theme of the cafe sessions, looking at how we can develop Justice Matters sessions to be even better at equipping and encouraging its members to be effective, ordinary radicals. The first of these will be this Wednesday, so make sure you come along and add your ideas to the mix. More information about the session is available in the post below.

That's all for now - have a great week and see you at The Bohemia on Wednesday.

Justice Matters is back!

The wait is over - Justice Matters resumes this Wednesday evening at Coffee Republic from 7:30pm, when we'll kick off our new theme for the Autumn: The Rough Guide to being an Ordinary Radical.

In this first session, we'll hear from Wendy Adams, a member of Justice Matters, who has experience of engaging with clubbers in Tenerife, drug addicts in Hong Kong, and sex workers in the East End of London. Come along to hear some of her stories and find out what drives her to be an ordinary radical.

In addition, there will be a chance to pick up some practical tips on how to make a greater difference in your own day-to-day life through our new regular slot for this term: Tips for Ordinary Radicals. If you have any ideas that you think would be useful to share with others, drop me a note.

As ever, there's no cost to come along, but please do buy a coffee and a nibble to contribute towards the venue hire, as we are funding the full running costs of the network ourselves.

That's all for now - see you Wednesday!
