Lindy Brasher, the University Minister for Social Justice and advisor for Loyola University Community Action Program, accompanies students to help them grow in leadership, faith, and commitment to justice and inclusivity. LUCAP is a social justice service organization. 

“LUCAP hopes to promote justice on campus and in society by living out Catholic social teaching. Through education, advocacy, and service, LUCAP seeks to build a campus culture

rooted in compassion and responsibility,” Brasher said. Service is one of the main goals of LUCAP. At Grace at the Green Light, a non-profit organization, LUCAP serves breakfast to nearly 200 unhoused men and women every Monday and Tuesday mornings. 

Volunteering not only provides essential needs but creates a welcoming and inviting atmosphere that reaffirms the dignity and respect of each person of the community.

“We also encourage students to engage with social issues beyond campus and work toward a more just and humane society,” Brasher said.

Every Monday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Brasher hosts Social Justice Snacks in Francis Family Hall, room 415. It’s an opportunity to raise interest in social justice and for club members to discuss current social issues, trends, and events. 

“[Justice] calls us to recognize the inherent worth of every human life and to work for the common good, especially by standing in solidarity with those who are marginalized or excluded,” Brasher said.
