Our Vision
Citizens for Public Justiceย seeks humanย flourishing and the integrity of creation as our faithfulย response to Godโs call for love and justice.ย We envisionย a world in which individuals, communities, societal institutions, and governments allย contribute to and benefit from the common good.
Our Mission
Our missionย is to promote public justice in Canada by shaping key publicย policy debates through research and analysis, publishing, and publicย dialogue. CPJ encourages citizens, leaders in society, andย governments to support policies and practices which reflect Godโs call forย love, justice, and the flourishing of Creation.
Public Justice
We live in a country that provides us with immense opportunities. As citizens, we are called to participate in the public sphere and encourage our governments to adopt just policies. As Christians, we are called to live out our response to Godโs call to love and justice. This response is at the heart ofย public justice.
Public justice is the political dimension of loving one’sย neighbour, caring for creation, and achieving the common good. It isย particularly the responsibility of government and citizens. It involves seeking out and implementing just policies that allow everyone to live in dignity and participate in society.
