Empowering Change in Our Local Communities
At Region XII, we're committed to addressing social injustices and promoting equality throughout our region. Our Social Justice Ministry is dedicated to serving communities and fulfilling Christian values that guide us.
Shared Resources for Local Activism
As a member of our community, you'll have access to shared resources and tools designed to help you address injustice in your local community. These resources are meant to be a starting point for discussion, planning, and action, rather than a comprehensive solution on their own.
Some examples of the types of resources we'll share include:
- Community Needs Assessments: Targeted research reports that identify specific needs within our region's communities
- Local Advocacy Guides: Step-by-step guides for advocating for change in areas such as education, healthcare, and economic development
- Policy Briefs: Analysis of existing policies and their impact on local communities
- Prayer Requests: A dedicated space to share prayer requests and receive support from fellow members

Our Social Justice Ministry is focused on addressing the following issues in our region:
- Gun Violence Prevention: Working towards a world where every child, family, and individual can live free from the threat of gun violence
- Mass Incarceration Reform: Advocating for policies that reduce mass incarceration and support formerly incarcerated individuals upon re-entry into society
- Police Brutality and Racial Justice: Addressing discriminatory police practices and promoting racial justice in our communities
