Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice

Support the 2019 Fordham delegation: the largest delegation at IFTJ!

Students will work to become contemplatives in action as they advocate for justice in migration and the environment in our nation’s capital.

The Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice is an annual gathering of close to 2,000 people from Jesuit institutions around the country who come together in the context of social justice and solidarity to learn, reflect, network, and advocate for a more just and loving world.  This year’s advocacy themes are environmental justice & humane migration reform.

All funds raised will support Fordham’s delegation by providing transportation, accommodations, food, and conference costs. These funds will support Fordham students in engaging in a weekend full of education and advocacy where they will develop knowledge and skills they can bring back to enhance the Fordham community and utilize throughout their lives.

Donate to support IFTJ!

Refugee Experience

Thursday, November 30 | 11:30-2:30 pm LL Plaza| 6:00-8:00 McMahon Hall

Walk in the shoes of the many affected people through an interactive simulation that takes you on the path of a refugee from home to camp. As more people become displaced, we must educate ourselves on the issue so as to be better equipped to advocate for those who are most impacted. On average, you can go through the experience in 30 minutes, but we invite you to go at your own pace to fully gain a deeper understanding of the many issues discussed.
