Beyond Words: Count Us in Movement

the beyond words movement brings together leaders from across the nation, including pastors, attorneys and corporate diversity managers, who are united in their desire to make racial justice a reality in america. spearheaded by the justice journey alliance, the beyond words movement is a collaborative initiative with rewire to enlist church leaders nationwide to lead their communities into action to address systemic racism. the beyond words movement recognizes that the historical church reaction to facing a racial crisis has been ineffective in producing any real and lasting change. often, the church’s response has been mostly words, whether through position papers, sermons or pulpit exchanges with leaders of color. what is needed now is to mobilize our faith communities to take action and to address the root causes and effects of america’s national sin of racism.
