Dear *{{Informal Name}}*,
Amidst the news of this tumultuous week, I hope you feel yourself carried by the enduring promise of this Easter season–that even the darkest, most cruel circumstances can be a catalyst for hope and transformation. We know our loving God stays near by our sides through the trials and tribulations of our lives, and our daunting struggles for liberation.
In case you missed it, earlier this week I shared our prayerful convictions on how a Christian human rights group like ours can be truly pro-woman and pro-child, in a way that respects the dignity and worth of all. Many of you wrote back to affirm and thank us for nuanced insight that transcends the usual divides. We’ll continue watching the Supreme Court and bring you more expert analysis as news on the Dobbs v. Jackson opinion unfolds.

Last year brought several breakthroughs and marked progress in Justice Revival’s quest to deepen Christian commitment to human rights in America. To highlight this impact, our 2021 Annual Report is now available online.
We reoriented our flagship Christian Human Rights Education program around a new, web-based event series. Leading experts and hundreds of faithful advocates joined us online to address voting rights, policing reform, and gender equality. Our boldest step forward last year was convening and launching the growing #Faith4ERA campaign.
All of these results were possible thanks to you and other vital members of this growing community, pressing for justice in the United States. I hope you’ll peruse the report and learn more about what you accomplished with Justice Revival in 2021.

Educating the Next Generation of Faith Leaders
This month, Justice Revival continued our focus on educating rising faith leaders on the profound inter-connections between Christian convictions and human rights principles. Over the past two weeks, I had the honor of returning to teach at The John Leland Center for Theological Studies.
Together, we examined the theological foundations of human rights and analyzed the problem of racism in our criminal system–an injustice that threatens people of color in particular and erodes our society as a whole.
