Global Justice Discussion Group
Details
The Global Justice Discussion Group is a 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.
No expertise required — only a willingness to show up, listen, think, and talk together. All perspectives that engage in good faith are welcome.
This month’s topic: Sanctions, also known by the United Nations as Unilateral Coercive Measures. Join us to discuss what forms sanctions take, whose interests they serve, what impact they have and whether there are any circumstances under which sanctions serve to promote global justice.
The general session format will be:
- Short presentation to introduce the topic and related issues (15 min)
- Questions from people who are new to the issue (15 min)
- Open, facilitated discussion (up to 1 hour)
