Tim Costello, Executive Director

Bringing the tribes of the Australian church together, to speak up for the world’s poor in our nation’s capital.

Voices for Justice is Micah Australia's flagship event, and a unique opportunity for you to gather with like-minded Christians to lobby your MP and state Senators on the issue of global poverty.

By inspiring, training and equipping Christians to speak with federal politicians about global poverty, Voices for Justice has provided a catalyst for building long-term relationships between Australian Christians and their local MPs, and set the stage for major aid announcements and breakthroughs in previous years.

"It was amazing seeing so many Christians come together and step out of their comfort zone to be a voice to the voiceless. Whether you’ve done lobbying before, or feel like you know absolutely nothing - I'd recommend Voices for Justice to everyone!"
