Every setting of the United Church of Christ, from local churches to global partners, has a role to play in expanding our practices of antiracism and strengthening our capacities as partners and participants in the burgeoning racial justice movements of our time. This is our mandate.

We are witnessing a seismic resurgence of racism against communities of color in our nation, part of a long history of white supremacy. This violence interrupts worship services, Bible studies, and routine tasks like a trip to the grocery store. It has also served as a catalyst for many to expand their antiracist understandings and practices, recognizing that the movement for racial justice cannot be separated from faith commitments to do justice and love our neighbors.      This is our moment.

Our stories show us not only who we are, but also inspire who we may become. Providing opportunities to encounter the antiracism journeys of others, Join the Movement is a hub of story-sharing, transformational resources, and spiritual reflection that nurtures connection and opens hearts to new possibilities and practices of racial justice.      This is our mission.

The Christian church began as a movement towards a just world through the practices and teachings of Jesus. As disciples of Jesus, we believe it is our calling to grow our capacity for interdependence and foster right relationships that value difference and promote equity, as we join and become our own Spirit-led movements. This is our movement.
