Organization Description
Faith in Public Life (FPL) is a strategy center for the faith community advancing faith in the public square as a powerful force for justice, compassion, and the common good. After the 2004 election and the 'values voter debacle' - when the religious right was portrayed as speaking for all people of faith - 40 progressive faith leaders came together to found FPL as a strategy center to help progressive clergy become game changers in key policy fights. From helping to pass big legislative wins like the Affordable Care Act, to playing a key role in groundbreaking campaigns like the Nuns on the Bus, to preventing discriminatory Religious Freedom bills, FPL continues to be on the front lines of progressive issue fights.
