About

Justice. Healing. Solidarity.

Vision

RSP aims to inspire anti-racist activism that leads to racial solidarity.

Mission

RSP seeks to achieve anti-racist activism and racial solidarity through our four pillars of activism: justice and equity advocacy, education, wellness, and intentional community-building.

Why Racial Solidarity?

Solidarity is the preferred term to use because it is reflective of God’s work. We believe solidarity is a central witness of God’s relationship with humanity. It is an ethic grounded in covenant, which is concretized by the solidaric acts of the incarnation and the work of Jesus on the cross. This makes solidarity a gospel-informed ethic.

Reconciliation is always the fruit of solidarity, but solidarity is always the witness of true reconciliation. Solidarity, by definition, means “communion of interests and responsibilities; mutual responsibilities; complete.” Reconciliation, as it is used to today in many spaces, can simply mean to “get along” or “be friendly,” but it does not necessarily require the work of activism to address social injustice and inequities.

It is through this paradigm that we at RSP view the work that needs to be done to continue the labor of anti-racist work of those who have gone before us and to prepare the next generations for the work of resisting all forms of racism.
