What we do
Religion in Revolt is a digital platform whose mission is to develop and promote the liberation work of faith communities. We hope to cultivate a space where people of all faiths who want to end, among other things, mass incarceration, unjust immigration policies, the climate crisis, and the precarity of life at the margins, can be informed and inspired to organize. We are intentional about platforming practitioners who are grounded in, and accountable to, real communities engaged in struggles for justice. We use our weekly newsletter, podcast, digital and print publication, and convenings to produce multifaith, public liberation theologies. We have no use for an audience.

Religion in Revolt is made possible through our partnership with the St. Paul of the Cross Province of the Passionists.
