Racial Justice and Renewing Democracy

A research collaboration with the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) seeks to accomplish three inter-related objectives: 1) research and test a set of messages for resonance with white mainline Christians to encourage them to connect the issue of racial justice to their deeply held religious beliefs; 2) in the next two months, arm and activate these tested messages with mainline Christian thought leaders; and 3) conduct long-term public opinion research at the intersection of racial justice, faith, pluralism and democracy.
