Our Sectors
We work at the intersection of racial equity and interfaith cooperation to advance the cause of racial justice in the U.S.
RACIAL EQUITY
In celebration of Pride Month, join Interfaith America and the Interfaith Center of New York for a panel discussion uplifting faith leaders who create LGBTQ+-affirming places of religious and spiritual expression.
At Interfaith America, we believe in the essential contributions of religious and secular traditions that affirm dignity and justice for every human being. We recognize and celebrate that movements for a better world — including South Africa’s Anti-Apartheid Movement, India’s Home Rule movement, and America’s civil rights movement — have been fueled by interfaith cooperation.
The United States prides itself on being the world’s first religiously diverse democracy. Still, much of what we think of as “interfaith cooperation” has emerged from principally white spaces, with voices of color systemically underrepresented. Communities of color have long had to negotiate the complexities of religious diversity and are a crucial part to building an interfaith America.
Interfaith America’s Racial Equity programs explore how interfaith efforts — historical and contemporary, personal and political — that emerge out of communities of color contribute to the formation of the United States as a religiously diverse democracy. This work is carried out through our fellowship programs, narrative work, curricula, and public events.
