(ChurchLeaders) Through a new initiative, a coalition of diverse Christian groups will advocate for police reform, criminal justice, and racial equality. The Prayer & Action Justice Initiative (PAJI), which launched Wednesday, is spearheaded by the Christian advocacy group the AND Campaign.
Justin Giboney, an attorney and president of the AND Campaign, says the church must take a clear stand on social issues and move forward with reforms even when racism isn’t “on the front page” any longer. “We don’t want any ambiguity where we stand on justice,” he says. “It is time for the church to unite.”
