Jars of Clay

On February 21 and 22, 2014, Dr. Bernice King, Jim Wallis and 19 other internationally known speakers will join with ten musical artists, including Jars of Clay, Dominic Balli and Avion Blackmon at The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, to share ideas about social and biblical justice.

The Justice Conference is a two-day annual event that focuses on creating dialogue and action around justice-related issues like human trafficking, slavery, poverty, HIV/AIDS, and human rights. As one of the largest international gatherings on social and biblical justice, more than 1,800 attendees and over 200 exhibitors from 44 states and over two dozen countries will gather to focus on the idea and practice of justice.

This year’s event will also feature the return of the Justice Film Festival, which will take place on Sunday, February 23 and will feature a handpicked selection of films from both emerging and well-known artists that will move and inspire the justice community.
