"I have been involved in Global Justice since its founding months in 2001 serving both as its Chair and Honorary Chair of the Board. During this time I have watched the organization grow into the largest student network focused around the dual crises of HIV/AIDS and child health...Global Justice has quickly earned the respect of many through its policy victories and progress in building a student movement." -Jeffrey Sachs Director, Earth Institute at Columbia University Special Advisor to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan |
StructureGlobal Justice acts as the umbrella organization for a growing number of student advocacy campaigns aimed at promoting a more responsible and engaged US foreign policy. Each of these campaigns operates through a national steering committee and chapters organized on a campus by campus basis. Campus chapters engage in independent projects as well as participating in collective national initiatives. To date Global Justice houses three campaigns- the Student Global AIDS Campaign, the Student Campaign for Child Survival and the Student Trade Justice Campaign.Global Justice also works to promote greater cooperation within the broader student advocacy movement for global justice- seeking to unite a fragmented movement of like minded individuals into a more cohesive whole, better able to mobilize resources to create change. This involves organizing concrete, cross-organization advocacy efforts, but also acting as a venue for promoting informed advocacy through trainings and support for infrastructural development. |
