‘What is justice without democracy? This was the question asked at Marquette University's 10th annual "Justice in Action" conference. It's a student-led initiative encouraging students, and residents, to think critically about their world.“Justice is something that I think is hard to define. I think people have different understandings of justice, but being at a conference like this and seeing how everyone is so intentional about coming together to serve the greater good of everybody, that's what justice is about to me,” said Lauren Fitch, a master’s student in Marquette University’s Public Service program.The session featured keynote speaker and former Wisconsin poet laureate, Dasha Kelly, and various community organizations held breakout sessions around the topics of social justice and civic engagement.Rachel Tarby spoke to conferencegoers about what it means to be changemakers on campus, and in life. #####Episode host: Rachel TarbyUniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the support of our Radio Milwaukee me
