Matters of Justice
As religious leaders we are reimagining ourselves and our identity as moral agents in public life. For many of us, this has meant a deepened realization of the power of racism and white dominance in shaping the suffering that lies at the center of so many of the issues around which we have organized—immigration, juvenile justice, education, housing, mass incarceration, islamophobia, transphobia, anti-semitism, and more.
Racial & Economic Justice
Through all our work, we put into action our commitment to collective liberation from dominant narratives, practices and policies that permit pervasive dehumanization and the exclusion of impacted people and communities from arenas of power that shape both public and private life.
Our approach to social and economic justice is intersectional, in that we understand how systemic injustices intersect and compound one another. Thus racial and economic justice are not “issue areas” in their own right, but are instead lenses through which we approach all our work.
