It’s Women’s Equality Day—the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

It did not mean that every woman could immediately exercise the right to vote. Citizenship restrictions, discriminatory laws, and other barriers continued to prevent many women from fully participating in public life.

At the Center for Public Justice, we uphold the inherent dignity of all people.

We believe that every person is created in the image of God and endowed with the ability and responsibility to actively contribute to the renewal of public life.

🗳 Voting is one part of that responsibility. What are other ways we contribute to the renewal of public life?

🏛️ How should government treat religious organizations? ⛪ 🕌 🕍

The Center for Public Justice has long advocated that the protection of religious freedom applies not only to individuals, but to institutions that serve the public.

Dr. Girien R. Salazar reflects on the responsibilities that government has to these institutions in a pluralistic society- a place where multiple interests and ideologies can thrive.

Have you made space today to notice God's presence?

This meditative prayer, led by Rev. Dr. Moore, is an invitation to slow down, quiet the noise, and attend to the peace and presence of God.

As you listen, allow each prompt to guide your conversation with God. There are no perfect words—only an invitation to be present.

The words and metaphors we choose have the power to shape public thought more than we realize. Even if inaccurate, terminology can have a very real impact on legislation.

"How we speak about children affects public perception and policy, and may even reinforce the very behavior it seeks to deter."

Mary Lauren Veazey and Rosalind Niemeier conclude our Juvenile Justice series by examining how language affects juvenile justice policy.

There is extensive research proving rehabilitative approaches are effective in reducing youth crime, and yet that evidence stands in tension with current policy proposals.

Tomorrow we mark the 250th anniversary of American independence.

Anniversaries invite reflection. They call us to remember honestly, to steward faithfully, and to consider what kind of nation we are helping to shape for those who come after us.

As we begin this season leading toward America's next chapter, we're asking a question that will guide our work in the months ahead:

What does public justice require of America today?

We'd love to hear from you.

—What gives you hope?
—What challenges do you believe deserve our attention as we seek the common good?
