Lenten Campaign for Equality & Justice 2010

National Council of Churches in India- Commission on Dalits have initiated a Lenten Campaign for Equality and Justice 2010, during this season of Lent. This campaign is a call to all those observing Lent to 'fast unto justice'. Specifically advocating for the Dalit Christian Rights and committing to eliminate manual scavenging by 2010 are the two calls given in this campaign. Join in this campaign, bring awareness about these concerns, talk about these concerns during our homilies and prayers and network with other faith based agencies to ensure justice.
