Faith-Based Activism
Faith-based activism refers to efforts by individuals or groups motivated by their religious beliefs to promote social change and justice. This type of activism often addresses issues such as poverty, human rights, and environmental concerns, drawing on the moral teachings of various faith traditions. Organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Sojourners exemplify how faith can inspire community service and advocacy.
Many faith-based activists work within their communities, using their religious institutions as platforms for outreach and education. They may organize events, provide resources, or engage in political advocacy, aiming to align their actions with the values of compassion and service found in their respective faiths.
