The Global Justice Discussion Group is a new monthly space at New Unity to make sense of events happening in our fast-changing world, share how we’re thinking and feeling about them, sit with the discomfort, and to ask what a values-led response might look like. Each month we'll take one issue as our focus and unpack the facts; share our emotional and moral reactions; and explore what personal, communal, and political responses are available to us. All perspectives that engage in good faith are welcome. No expertise required — only a willingness to show up, listen, think, and talk together.

To get us off the ground, we are planning two meetings hoping that by the end of the second an interested-enough group has emerged to make the idea sustainable. We can then decide about the next set of topics by having a collective look around our world(s) and drawing on our existing and emerging interests.
