Racial Justice at All Souls

All Souls Church subscribes to eight principles and shared values which center the spiritual discipline of love and serve to shape our actions to journey towards spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.

Nearly every other group in the social justice ministry focuses on race/racism in some way.

Several have it as central to their mission:

• The Beckner Advancement Fund Committee seeks to “ support the leadership and experiences of impacted communities as a means to achieve systemic change.” in addressing “structural racism and oppression.”

• The Migrant Solidarity Team is dedicated to making our community, city, and country a safe and welcoming place for all people, regardless of immigration status.

• The Reeb Project for Voting Rights is dedicated to increasing voter participation and ending voter suppression, particularly in communities with historically low voter participation and in partnership with organizations that center the leadership of people of color.
