Social Justice In Des Moines

Video by Ellie Bastian

For many churches, “social justice” is more than just a buzzword. New churches oriented toward a young-adult culture have sprung up in the past decade. They often attempt to go beyond charity by aiming at the root causes of social injustice in communities. There is a perception that the movement is being led by the youth. Though youth are contributing, a lot of the work is done by older generations.

This short video shows one example of the issues that a local organization, AMOS, addresses.
