Our Vision
The Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership (CSPL) envisions a conscienticized and spiritually rooted movement of people organizing from the grassroots to transform and build liberative and democratic systems in the ongoing journey towards achieving a greater approximation of God’s Kin-dom.
Our Mission
CSPL is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-generational spiritually-rooted organization that labors to transform racial, economic, social and environmental systemic structures through grassroots coalition building, community organizing, and liberative formation.
WE ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION THROUGH THESE CORE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES (METHODOLOGY):
- Building a powerful and dynamic coalition of member congregations, worker-owned cooperatives, universities, community organizations and institutions that can act boldly together in our communities and across society. (Coalition Building)
- Organizing to transform and build systems and structures that advance racial, economic, social and environmental justice through community organizing and direct action. (Community Organizing)
- Co-forming grassroots leaders and communities to be critically conscious, strategic and spirit-rooted through leadership and theological formation that is deeply grounded in the liberative Catholic and Christian traditions and popular education. (Liberative Formation)
- Sustaining a strong organizational capacity that is grounded in discipline, contemplation, interconnectedness, and accountability through the staff, board of directors, and members. (Organizational Development)
