Overview

Mission

To mobilize communities of faith and conscience to confront modern injustice through education, advocacy, and community action, so that the people closest to hardship gain the understanding and leadership to change their conditions.

What it reported doing in 2025

Love Shows UpTM is the organization's flagship nonpartisan civic engagement and voter education campaign, designed to equip people of faith to participate fully in civic life. During the year, the organization developed and distributed a comprehensive campaign toolkit, including state-specific voter engagement playbooks, participant handouts, teacher and facilitator guides, a sermon resource pack for partner clergy, and a campaign website providing free public access to all materials. The organization also designed and delivered a Captain Training program to prepare volunteer leaders to conduct nonpartisan voter education activities in their local congregations and communities. All campaign activities were strictly nonpartisan; the organization did not participate or intervene in any political campaign on behalf of, or in opposition to, any candidate for public office. Program work was carried out entirely by volunteers, and materials were provided to the public and to partner congregations at no charge.
