Welcome to Act for Justice
Act for Justice is the place on the MCC Oasis website where social justice comes to life. Social Justice is ensuring injustices are challenged and diversity is valued. Each of us carries the responsibility to ensure and protect human rights, the dignity of life, as well as preservation of our planet for generations to come. Taking a stand for social justice is a sacred calling and also our responsibility.
