Sacred Activism 7 Pillars

The Seven Pillars of Sacred Activism

Community Engagement focuses on building relationships and viable partnerships with civic, non-profit and religious organizations throughout the City of Oakland, Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Our goal is to expand the consciousness of love and unity through collaboration, prayer, direct support and direct services.

Civic Engagement includes non-partisan voter education and registration. The focus is educating citizens on the functions of local and regional government and encouraging participation as Spiritual Citizens.

 

Outreach to Sidewalk Communities: This program serves individuals and families who are living on the street, in tents, vehicles, etc. Food, hygiene kits, and clothing are provided on a regular basis.

This component focuses on teaching the principles of restorative justice and how they are applied in maintaining healthy communities for our children, elders and families. 

The mission of the EBCRS Health & Wellness Ministry is to promote healthy lifestyle choices and practices to enhance the quality of life for congregants. It includes COVID-19 prevention education. 

Our Diversity and Inclusion component focuses on expanding our knowledge and understanding of the meaning and application of diversity and inclusion principles and practices in all areas of our lives.  

This component focuses on education and training about environmental issues, the impact they have on all of us and what proactive measures we can take to have environmentally safe and healthy communities.
