The Silicon Valley Faith Leaders Collaborative is a multifaith network of clergy and faith leaders committed to confronting injustice, discrimination, and hate through intentional dialogue and collective action.
Rooted in our diverse faith traditions, we engage across lines of religion, race, gender, culture, and identity to build communities where all people experience dignity, belonging, and value. Through partnership with anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and community building organizations and campaigns, we seek to transform our region into a place where justice is actively practiced and compassion is publicly lived.

Supporting Policy and Structural Change
As faith leaders in Silicon Valley, we recognize that justice requires both personal transformation and systemic change. We may be called upon to support policy efforts—including ballot measures, city budgets, and legislative initiatives—that impact resource distribution and equity for Black, Brown, and other marginalized communities.
We commit to becoming informed about policy proposals and community-led demands, and to discerning when and how our faith-based voices can responsibly support efforts that promote justice, equity, and the common good.

We commit to engaging communities not as leaders of movements that are not our own, but as partners and learners seeking to follow wisely and faithfully.

Being an AllyAs faith leaders, we hold visible and influential roles within our communities. This public presence carries privilege—through education, institutional power, and clerical authority—that is not equally accessible to all.
We commit to:
