Our Lenses

Our work prepares leaders, congregations, and communities to engage in justice work by asking explicit questions about race and class in our issues, strategies, coalitions, and outcomes. 

An equity strategy prioritizes the leadership of impacted communities and fosters solidarity across racial and economic boundaries. 

​

We continue to evaluate our internal work through anti-racist, decolonizing, and economic liberating methods. We cultivate that same accountability throughout our network.

The closer you are to an issue, the closer you are to the solution. The further you are, the more you can philosophize about it.

Creating grassroots collective power means that our immediate communities will surface the work we are called to do. We equip teams to strengthen unlikely relationships and generate place based accountability. 

​

Traditional organizing says we build collective power through organized people and organized resources. We also believe in the power of organized spirit. 
Our trainings and network foster deep spirituality through intentional listening, relationships that reflect the beloved community, somatic and embodied practices, liberating theologies, and a space where all of our spiritual lives are honored in this work.
