Election Day is next week!

At CPJ, we believe that every person is created in the image of God and endowed with the ability and responsibility to actively contribute to the renewal of public life– and voting is one of the ways we live this out.

We hope that these reflections from CPJ staff help surface your own "why" behind voting.

Everyone is affected by their quality of health. Broken bones need fixing, red-hot fevers need treating, and cavities need filling. The human body requires a lot of maintenance, which is not only mentally and emotionally taxing but expensive.

On top of that, the administrative complexity of the U.S. healthcare system creates unnecessary barriers that keep people from accessing the care they need. Read more in our latest Ink & Impact article by Jackson Schriver: https://bit.ly/3WhWff8

Elections are a vital part of public justice– they are a way for governments to be held accountable by their citizens, and a way for citizens to share with government the responsibility to uphold a just political community.

Today, Director of Equipping Ministries Fellowship Dr. Pablo Juárez and Managing Editor Grace Simpson share how voting is an expression of public justice to them.

How government structures immigration enforcement has direct consequences for whether survivors of domestic violence can safely seek help. The justice system has procedures in place to pursue accountability and safety for citizens in abusive relationships, though that very system fails to protect survivors far too often. For mixed-status families, the additional fears and uncertainties place even these protections nearly out of reach.

In our latest Ink & Impact article, Sanna Wilber highlights how current immigration policies compound the complexity and fear families experience in abusive situations, and how civil society, churches, and government can work toward a new narrative for immigrant and mixed-status families.

In 2023, a man named Derek Mobley filed a class-action complaint against the cloud-based enterprise software platform Workday. Mobley, a 40-year-old African American man with a disability, claimed that the software’s AI applicant screening process outright rejected more than 100 of his job applications due to his race, age, and disability status.

In our latest Ink & Impact article, Will Creagh uncovers how Mobley’s case marks a historical continuation of brokenness in the relationship between work, technology, and race in the United States. Read more at https://bit.ly/4BlE5co

The second cohort of Preaching Reformed is here! This month, we were excited to welcome our newest Preaching Reformed Fellows: a group of pastors from across the country passionate about helping the Church be a light in a politically divided society.

Over the next year, this group will learn together as they connect theology, public witness, and congregational life with clarity and courage. Learn more about the cohort at https://bit.ly/4ytiR9O.

God’s creation offers a connection point with our neighbors. From the scent of wildflowers in the morning dew to the streaks of colors painting the sky at sunset to the roar of a cascading waterfall—encounters with the natural world inspire joy, awe, and wonder. As people who share earthly space with neighbors of many different backgrounds, the environment that we inhabit together offers a setting in which to love these neighbors.

In today’s Ink & Impact article, Fiona Balfe points to how environmental stewardship is a tangible act of love for our neighbors, and how many institutions, from the federal government to families, can combat the issue of air pollution. Read more at https://bit.ly/4zAe3jS

October is a busy month at the Center for Public Justice!

Our Faith-Based Policy and Research team was in Dallas to launch the first cohort of Colaboración con la Familia (CCLF), a research and training initiative exploring how faith-motivated, Hispanic-serving child care providers can strengthen their partnership with parents around faith and values. This event brought together child care providers for an in-person training focused on how providers can support Hispanic parents and families in the formation of young children.

CPJ also gathered faith leaders in Dallas for a Keeping Families Together convening to lament the impact of mass deportation on families and to discern how they can safeguard children and support families affected by family separation in their communities. This time of reflection and learning is one way pastors, leaders of faith based organizations, and Christian advocates in Texas are seeking the well being of their neighbors, regardless of immigration status.
