What is it?
The Social Justice Army is an organization of people who commit to serving their local communities one hour a month. With chapters of the Army spread across the globe, members make it their mission to affect positive change within the communities they live in. From serving at local homeless shelters, food banks, community events, etc. to educating communities of the issues that are effecting change; the Army has become a social movement.
Who are we?
The Social Justice Army was birthed from the fans of the modern-Americana band, Fort Pastor. What started out as a loyal fan-base has become a service-based organization of people working towards the betterment of the world we live in.
How to Join?
Fort Pastor recruits members at every live concert they perform. Concert goers can sign up at the concert to receive more information about the Army and begin to form a local chapter. You can also receive additional information by emailing [email protected].
