The Social & Environmental Justice Council (SEJC) is one of 5 councils reporting to the Program Council. It meets monthly to facilitate communication between social justice teams. We coordinate and organize social and environmental justice projects, broad-interest congregation-wide projects, and legislative action.

The SEJC Lead is Kathy Stevenson.
