Mission & Method
GLIDE’s Center for Social Justice influences public policy and changes public perception around poverty, discrimination, and civil and human rights. We do this through thought leadership, policy development, grassroots organizing, education, and legal action. We convene policymakers and peers to amplify the voices of our community, while mobilizing congregants, clients, volunteers, donors and neighbors to become agents of social change.
Be the Change
Anyone can change the world! Join GLIDE to stand with those most impacted by poverty and inequity by advancing economic and social justice. Volunteer to serve a meal, speak up and out against inequity, march with GLIDE to City Hall; there are many ways to take action and join us as an agent for change. Stay up-to-date on our policy and advocacy efforts and learn about opportunities including community meetings, phone banks, voter turnout efforts and emergency actions that rely on people like you, people ready to create a just world.
