The Salvation Army is preparing to celebrate its 160th anniversary!
In recognition of this upcoming significant anniversary on 2 July, The Salvation Army International Headquarters has created eight short videos chronicling the vast and varied mission of the global Salvation Army over the past 160 years, with one video being released each week, beginning 5 June.
The fourth video, released this week, focuses on The Salvation Army’s response to social justice.
Social justice has been a key component of The Salvation Army’s mission since its inception in 1865.
The Salvation Army continues to fight for social justice and has worked with the United Nations since 1947, and in 2007 we established our International Social Justice Commission (ISJC) in New York City, USA. The ISJC is The Salvation Army’s strategic voice in advocating for human dignity and social justice among the world’s poor and oppressed.
