Your financial contribution is essential because...

Your dollars pay for gas money for our organizers, hiring translators so that every event is bilingual (English/Spanish), making training accessible to low income leaders, developing an in-depth resource library to serve people of faith, and so much more.

MEET ANTHONY

Through thoughtful listening to the community members in the low-income areas where they work, I have seen our leaders hone their focus areas and adapt to respond to the most urgent needs articulated again and again.

Through this faith-rooted work, CSPL members commit to building a more humane society, learning with and from one another as they democratically define our shared goals to address the most pressing social, racial, and economic injustices facing our communities.

CSPL has afforded me the opportunity to share my God-given gifts by being a part of a community of servants who believe that advocating for fair social justice policies is paramount to be a “delight” in God’s eyes.

What did Jesus’ life look like 2000+ years ago?

This book is an invitation to share in that curiosity about the historical Jesus, what his life was like 2,000+ years ago, what his community experienced, what his teachings meant, and, most importantly, what they can teach us about advancing justice in our neighborhoods and communities through a community organizing framework, grounded in a deeply rooted spiritual life.
