Social Justice Resources
There is a wealth of material on conceptualizing social justice and on how to make changes to advance social justice. Some of it comes from various faith and religious traditions; some from academic disciplines; some from the stories of individuals and communities. This section is dedicated to those resources. If you have others, please send them to socialjustice@luc.edu.
SOCIAL JUSTICE FACT SHEETS
Developed through Social Justice at Loyola, these fact sheets highlight specific areas of information every person working for justice should know. These sheets are intended to spark thought and creativity in working for justice in many areas of society locally and around the world. This is a growing resource section; there will be many other fact sheets to come. – World Population –ROMAN CATHOLIC RESOURCES
