Description

Sojourners seeks funding for an initiative that will build the capacity and amplify the voices of a diverse cohort of journalists writing and working at the intersection of religion, race, and democracy. “Building the Beloved Community” will provide 24 news reporters and opinion writers of color with opportunities to gain the experience and professional development they need to cover the nexus of religion, race, and democracy with accuracy and insight. Their work will be published by Sojourners’ magazine, alongside a series of interviews with scholars, religious leaders, and civic activists. Developing a special magazine edition with contributions from established scholars and new voices, the project will culminate with a virtual event featuring these contributors in a discussion that will be recorded and made available to the public.
