Who we are
A rising generation is hungry for a movement that's not just about a single issue or political party, but a shared moral vision for a better world.  Groundswell echoes and amplifies that call for justice welling up among the secular, the seeking, and people of faith.  We provide avenues for people of all faiths and walks of life to take strategic social action around shared moral imperatives.
 
In our first campaign, we generated a groundswell of community on the ten-year anniversary of 9/11.  In a time when anti-Muslim rhetoric and violence threatened to divide our country, we connected, resourced, and promoted events in all 50 states that stood for compassion and open communities. In our second  campaign, we joined the fight to end sex trafficking of children and youth in a groundswell of responsibility. In our third campaign, we are building a groundswell of courage for people of faith to stand for LGBT equality through courageous storytelling and effective advocacy.  In the coming months, we’re working to amplify the voices of faith and moral leaders in the call for a moral economy.

The light of social justice flickers in brave corners, but it fizzles in isolation.

What would happen if that light shone in a bold constellation?

We create a movement.
