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): 

1. 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) 

2. Organizing to transform and build systems and structures that advance racial, economic, social and environmental justice through community organizing and direct action. (Community Organizing) 

3. 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) 

Membership Process

Individual Members

• Individuals who do not belong to a congregation or organization have the opportunity to join and work with CSPL. Individual members can participate in leadership trainings and issue campaign work just as leaders from institutional members can. We highly encourage individuals to participate in CSPL’s work while also maintaining a deep commitment to the formation of communities that foster relationships, faith and civic formation. CSPL will provide support to individual members who want to form a committee that includes other individual members of CSPL as a means of enhancing participation at the membership level and to foster relationships and community for the ongoing work of organizing, leadership development and faith formation.
