The program generates new ideas, analysis, and strategies for the social justice movement. Through holding community forums, publishing white papers and producing multi-media projects, IPP strives to connect key thinking with communtity organizers by providing a forum for a meeting of the minds. Our hope is to initiate provocative discussions on both social justice ideas and methods of action. www.pragmaticpractice.org The Center on Race, Religion and Economic Democracy is an Institute at Union Theological Seminary (UTS). As part of a tradition of national and global justice making, UTS is a place of scholarship on religion as a force for addressing oppressive structures and practices in society and promoting collective action for social transformation. Since 1863, Union has developed leaders who have played important roles in social movements for racial justice, gender justice, LGBTQ justice, workers’ rights, eradicating poverty, peace work, ecological sustainability and more. The CRRED will draw upon these resources and bring to bear relationships with religious leaders, other scholars and community organizers across sectors to engage in a robust theological inquiry. This inquiry is one that is not only connected to and informed by organizing and activism for democratic action, but also able to move into action.

Meagher hen the Washington Post ran an Wobituary for Paul Weyrich on its front page last December, the casual reader could be forgiven for not recognizing the name. But those who followed conserva- tive politics inside Washington probably approved of the significant placement. Weyrich was the creator or co-creator of a dozen prominent conservative institutions over the past 35 years, and hosted weekly meetings over that span where conservative activists and government officials shared ideas and strategies with each other. While no single person is responsible for the strik- ing success of conservative policies and politics since the 1970s, Weyrich probably comes closest to deserving that credit. Weyrich was at the center of what in the Reagan era was called the “New Right.” This moniker, typically contrasted with the “Old Right” of Robert Taft and Barry David Paul Morris/Getty Images In February, California mosques discovered the FBI had hired a con man to infiltrate their communities.
