In our vision of justice, human rights and ecology are interconnected: the root causes of social injustice and environmental decline are often the same – as are the people who feel their effects most acutely. Inspired by the principles of love and inclusion, we work towards a just and sustainable Earth community in which all humans can live in dignity and cohabit, in symbiosis, with the rest of the natural world.
Our response to eco-social inequity takes many forms, including advocacy, education and support. It entails much collaborative work with church groups and other non-profits.
We advocate towards local, national and international authorities to change mindsets where oppressive values dominate, giving a voice to victims of prejudice and discrimination and bringing to the fore questions about the ethical and sustainable use of natural resources.
We participate in educational initiatives to empower indigenous communities, and carry out social projects with the international network of Sion Schools and other organisations.
Our commitment to eco-social justice and rights is underpinned by the conviction that by carrying out small, deliberate actions on a regular basis, each one of us can make a difference to improve our world, so that the whole of Creation can thrive within our common home.
Through action, accompaniment and prayer, we support groups and individuals whose resilience is tested by the circumstances they live in.
