Peace & Justice Week 2017 at UC Irvine
What is justice? How can we ensure justice happens for various communities around the US? Can we have peace without justice? These are just some of the questions we'll discuss during the 5th Annual Peace & Justice Week at UC Irvine. Join our campus community for engaging and important panel discussions and art performances. We'd love to have you learning alongside us.
