Truth Movement

Many students at Clark participated in the annual national To Write Love on Her Arms day. The student body and faculty asked about what this day was for, and the organization “a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide” was given much awareness.

October 20th, 2009 proved to be a successful event at Clark, as 15 students participated in the annual Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity. Students walked around campus with red duct tape over their mouths which read “LIFE.” Fliers were handed out which boldly stated “WHY WE ARE SILENT.” We hope to have stirred up questions in the student body and faculty over the controversial topic of abortion.

Please keep in mind that although Truth Movement leaders are pro-life, we highly encourage opposing view points to interact and share their arguments during debates and discussions.

Hey everyone! So on Wednesday we were on TV (check it out at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2054808 if any of you missed it) and we talked about our club and what we do. We hope the show was affective and that students from our local schools consider joining the club! We will actually be having another show soon and we will also be Ustreaming live as well. We would love to hear your thoughts and any type of feedback is appreciated!

School is right around the corner and we are SO excited for this year’s Truth Movement. Since we have experience—Hoover from last year and GHS and Clark for two years–this year’s club is going to be much more organized and effective. Read more »

On May 14, 2009, TOMS shoes came to Glendale High School. For every pair of shoes that TOMS sells, a new pair of shoes goes to someone in need in different parts of the world.

For those of you who don’t know, these shoes go to children who have podoconiosis, a soil transmitted disease caused by walking, running, working etc. barefoot in silica rich soil. Read more »

On Thursday April 23rd Hoover High school had a Human Rights assembly. We, Truth Movement, decided to have a power point presentation on modern day chocolate slavery, which takes place in the Ivory Coast in Africa.

For those of you who didn’t know,  child slaves are used to pick up cocoa beans for different companies such as Hershey’s, Nestle, Mars (Snickers, M&Ms, Milkyway, Three Musketeers, etc.), and other popular chocolate companies. Read more »

The Truth behind the Chocolate you eat

Last week at Glendale High School a few of the members and leaders of this club took our lunchtime to go out in the middle of quad and spread the truth about the chocolate we eat.

Ever since this idea was suggested during a club meeting we were all very excited and eager to inform our peers about the slavery going on today. This excitement turned into nervousness when I was told on the first day, that Nestle gives a lot of money to schools, in particular Glendale High. Read more »

Hey everyone,

We just wanted to give you all a brief welcome and introduction to our website. Truth Movement is a club that began as a vision by our youth pastor from Christian Outreach for Armenians Church in Glendale, CA. The youth from this church as well as from Christ Armenian Church in La Cresenta, CA, took this idea and developed it into the “movement of truth”  which we are leading in our midst at our local high school campuses. As stated in our mission statement, the work that our club is involved in comes from a Christian perspective as we believe that God is a God of Justice, who demands this from His people.

“We firmly believe that all life has inherent value. In Genesis 1:27, the Bible claims, “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Not only so, but He made human beings separate from all other creation by giving them dominion and stewardship over them (Gen. 1:26) and breathing into them His own breath (Gen. 2:7) – no other creature carries the breath of God. Therefore, since all people carry the image of God, all life is valuable. This is why in Genesis 9:6, God said, “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.” Life is so valuable to God that He demands the repayment if it is taken” (www.endtheslaughter.org).

Although we hold a biblical worldview as a foundation for our club, this does not mean that students who hold opposing beliefs are not welcome to join.  In fact, part of the club includes holding debates and discussions on different controversial issues. Therefore, we would appreciate it if anyone who opposes our views would come to our meetings, or get into contact with us.

Don’t be hesitant to check out our blogs, add us on myspace or facebook, or send us an email.
Thanks.
