IRTF's 11th annual Social Justice Teach-In is a great opportunity for PEOPLE OF ALL AGES to learn about critical human rights issues and practice hands-on skills to organize for peace, economic justice, and human rights.
This annual event attracts 150-200 participants, many from area high schools and colleges. The Teach-In will provide participants with information, practical skills, and resources to support their own social justice programming at their schools, congregations, or with IRTF!
