Death Penalty

Ending the death penalty has been a key focus area of IJPC for almost 20 years. Learn more about proposed legislation to improve the current system, growing opposition to the death penalty, local partners, and how you can get involved.

Human Trafficking

All forms of human trafficking are a concern internationally as well as in our own communities of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Each year an estimated 1,078 Ohio children become victims of sex trafficking and 3,016 more are at-risk.

Immigration

IJPC fully believes that immigrants should be welcomed to the United States and our current immigration law does not support that. Learn about our Youth Educating Society (YES) Program that empowers young leaders and their allies to advocate for immigration reform.

Peace + Nonviolence

Dialogue serves to promote civil discourse, stimulate critical thinking and create an environment where people of differing perspectives can feel safe and comfortable conversing and learning from one another. IJPC works to create peaceful and nonviolent communities.
