PROMINENT BLACK CHURCH LEADERS GATHER TO ENDORSE NEW MOVEMENT

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, April 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ --
WHAT: “Heirs of Action”
“Heirs of Action” is a faith event hosted by Black Church Leaders to bless and establish the AND Campaign as a credible representative of their sociopolitical perspective. In the spirit of the Civil Rights Movement, this event will draw on the power of God as expressed through faithful people to impact society. Subsequently, “Heirs of Action” is a launch event to renew the voices, in the public square, of those committed to social justice and moral order.

WHY: Throughout the country, many Black Christian leaders believe their voice has been muted and co-opted since the height of the civil rights movement decades ago. In response, over one-hundred prominent Black Christian leaders around the country have endorsed the AND Campaign as a credible representative of their sociopolitical perspective. Furthermore, many Americans are frustrated with the current hyper-partisan culture. The landmark "Hidden Tribes" study showed that a majority of Americans are not a part of either partisan extreme; 67% are in the "Exhausted Majority". The AND Campaign believes its unique perspective will be a conduit for meaningful progress for all.

WHO: The AND Campaign is a Christian civic organization focused on equipping the church through Gospel-center educational content, public representation, policy breakdowns, advocacy and leadership development. The AND Campaign believes its faith compels it to pursue both social justice and moral order in the public square. As a result, its public witness is not adequately represented by ideological conservatism nor progressivism. The AND Campaign seeks to reassert a more faithful Christian witness in politics and culture by helping Christians thoughtfully seek the welfare of their neighbors.

Prayer and Devotion (9:00AM)
