Meeting the Moment: Raising Faithful Voices for Justice

An image of 5 people sitting together for a conversation about faith and resistance

Our faith-based social justice outreach and awareness is not simply a program but a philosophy of action that undergirds all that we do, believe, and promote. It begins by noticing who is vulnerable and whose voice is missing and needs to be heard.

We bring this work to life through faithful witness and testimony during our live-streamed Fireside Chats, Weekly Word guest essays on faith-based social justice issues of the day, a timely weekly newsletter spotlighting social ills as well as hopeful reform initiatives, and faith- filled Reflections that inspire and sustain action.

The titles tell the story.

From our Fireside Chat Series:

    • Faith in Action: Standing Up Against Harsh Immigration Policies
    • Faith and Resistance
    • Finding Our Voice: The Journey of Immigrant Leaders

From The Weekly Word:

    • First They Came for Our Neighbors: Faith, Poverty and Protest
    • The Call to Justice: A Divine Imperative in the Struggle Between Truth and Falsehood
    • How Tikkun Olam Became Jewish Social Justice

Fireside Chat guests and The Weekly Word writers come from all faith traditions and include those with lived and living experience.

In-person and Zoom workshops and presentations to parishes, community groups, and networks further manifest this mindfulness and intentionality, with topics like:

    • Helping God Draw Straight with Crooked Lines
    • Confronting Massive Injustice with A Simple Faith
    • The Signs of the Times Are Leading Us Where?

This “Mindfulness” asks us not simply to be aware, but to respond and undertake intentional acts of justice in community with others – to step out of our churches, synagogues, and mosques and into the world of suffering and need with conviction and strength. Through The Weekly Word and the Friday Newsletter, our message reaches over 4,000 followers regularly. We give voice to their experiences through our “Faith in Action” web series, in which our followers pen essays about practicing their faith in service to others.
