Contributions to the July Share the Plate will benefit the Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center. Founded in 1985 by five congregations of Catholic sisters, the mission of the Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center (IJPC) is to educate and advocate for peace, challenge unjust local, national, and global systems, and promote the creation of a nonviolent society. IJPC is supported by 22 faith-based organizations and many individuals from diverse backgrounds who work together to educate themselves and the public about social justice issues, take collaborative action, and organize public witness. IJPC addresses four core issues including the death penalty, immigration, human trafficking, and peace and nonviolence. With a staff of five located in the Peaslee Neighborhood Center in Over-the-Rhine, IJPC relies on a network of 6,000 supporters.
