House parties are a great way to have fun with friends, take action for peace and justice, and support ICPJ.

Good food, good company, and a good cause! If you enjoy spending time with friends, enjoy good food, and support ICPJ’s work, this opportunity is perfect for you. An ICPJ House Party is a fun and effective way to support the mission and continued efforts of the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice.

  We are featuring the powerful short film: The Story of Stuff. Your House Party will feature a screening and discussion of this documentary which illustrates the issue of consumerism and how it is directly linked to environmental problems with social justice issues.  Read more at www.storyofstuff.org.

Becoming involved is simple!

    Host is responsible for:
            • Offering a screening space
            • Coordinating the meal (cook for your friends, potluck, snacks…)
            • Inviting friends

    ICPJ provides: 
            • Film (and DVD player if needed)
            • Facilitator for event (intro & post-film discussion/debrief)
            • Invitation template (hard copy/email format)
            • Additional chairs (if needed)
