United Women in Faith’s campaign to interrupt the school-to-prison pipeline is an expression of our priority commitment to end mass incarceration and the criminalization of communities of color.  

We believe that all children and youth are sacred, deeply beloved by God, and deserving of an education that nurtures their God-given gifts and encourages their growth. We decry the systemic racism that treats some children as disposable, funneling them away from educational success and towards the criminal justice system. We recognize as sinful the tendency of our institutions (“powers and principalities”) to show grace to White children/youth while withholding that same grace from Black children/youth and other children/youth of color.  

We are called to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God. Join us!
