ny faith & justice

What would it be like to involve your church in reaching out to kids in the public school system? Could it invigorate your youth ministry? Unveil latent teaching and mentoring skills? Connect you with your community?

We invite you to join us for a co-sponsored event with the 20/20 Vision for Schools and their Adopt-a-School program. There are some 1400 public schools in the city and 7000 Evangelical Churches. Imagine if those churches became active in praying for, encouraging, and mentoring the students, teachers, and staff in those schools.

Is it something you could see your church being blessed by?

Are you ready to meet the students in your neighborhood that could use your help?

Reverend Tony Evans, a national leader in the Adopt-a-School movement, will be leading a gathering for pastors and members of churches throughout the city to discuss the process of connecting with schools to build fruitful, challenging, and transformative partnerships.

Following the acquittal of the police officers implicated in Sean Bell’s killing, over 1000 protesters marched through Manhattan yesterday blocking traffic and resulting in over 200 peaceable arrests. NY Faith & Justice partners joined the rallies, lead by Rev. Al Sharpton who called together protesters in 6 locations across Manhattan. “‘If you are not going to lock up the guilty in this town,” Sharpton said, “then I guess you’ll have to lock up the innocent.” NY Faith & Justice will join these protests each week until the Federal Justice Department commits to bring some form of justice in this case.
