Welcome to the Campaign.
This has been a dream of ours for several years now, and we’re so excited that it’s finally happening. Ever since we discovered that slavery is real, that it exists everywhere around us, that most products we buy, most places we go, have been somehow touched by slavery, we wanted to bring that reality to Columbia University. IV Social Justice hopes that, through the events over the next few weeks, the Columbia community comes face-to-face with the disturbing reality that 27 million of our fellow human beings are enslaved. But more than that, we hope that you, a Columbia student, can proudly say, by the end of this week, “I am an abolitionist.” We hope the stories, insight, and advice of the experts joining us at each of the events will inspire and empower each Columbian to help us work towards a solution. Above all, we hope that you can find your way, whatever that may be, of joining in the growing abolitionist movement that is happening all across the globe.
Check out our “Upcoming Events” page for a detailed description of the exciting goings-on during the next few weeks…don’t miss our kick-off screening of Call + Response followed by a conversation with director Justin Dillon on March 31! We hope you will join us.
