About This Kairos Moment

This Kairos Moment, a project of The Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice, is a publication designed to bring you longer form multi-media content highlighting the plights, fights, and insights from community organizers and faith leaders across the United States engaged in the struggle to end poverty.

What is a kairos moment?

Kairos is an ancient Greek word, describing a time of great change, when the old ways of the world are dying and new ones are struggling to be born. It is clear we are living through exactly such a time today. This kairos moment is full of both grave danger and rare opportunity, and calls for bold and imaginative action from those who wish to break free from the intolerable conditions of poverty, systemic racism, militarism, ecological devastation, and more. It is in this context that new movements of poor and dispossessed people are emerging across the country and the world. 

What we'll publish

This weekly publication will feature political education/analysis aimed at helping you meet the Kairos moment, with a focus on the Johnnie Tillmon model of organizing.

Our theory of change is drawn from our study of history: the most transformative movements have always relied on generations of impacted leaders who are clear, committed, competent, and connected. These often unsung leaders, emerging out of poor and oppressed communities, have been the first to feel the pain of injustice and the first to strike out against it. Their broad movements have also brought together people from every walk of life and succeeded in awakening the conscience of society at large.
