Leading System Change
RocACTS believes building healthy communities requires the involvement of grassroots leaders who are directly impacted by issues and policies. The organization believes that faith institutions are critical stakeholders who inherently have power in the community. By engaging clergy, congregational members, residents, and allies in an intentional process of community organizing, RocACTS has demonstrated that change can happen.
Community-Wide Poor People's Campaign
Igniting Change
The Poor People's Campaign is a moral fusion movement, originally initiated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1967-1968 and revived today, that unites poor and low-wealth people across racial and geographic lines. It tackles interlocking injustices—systemic poverty, racism, ecological devastation, militarism, and a distorted moral narrative—to demand comprehensive economic reform and policy changes.
