I am responsible for building new, non-profit, congregation-based community organizing groups committed to doing justice in every major city throughout Kansas and Nebraska. So far, I have established and staffed new organizations including Churches United for Justice in Kansas City, Kansas, the Good Faith Network in Johnson County, Kansas, Justice Matters in Lawrence, Kansas, and Topeka Justice and Unity Ministry Project (Topeka JUMP) in Topeka, Kansas, and Justice in Action in Lincoln, Nebraska. This includes entering the community, identifying and bringing together leaders to build an organization, creating governance procedures, social justice campaign development, raising funds, and hiring and developing community organizers to staff the organizations.
