Mission Statement

Gamaliel trains community and faith leaders to build political power and create organizations that unite people of diverse faiths and races to pursue equal opportunity for all, shared abundance, and stronger, more prosperous communities.

Description

We build strong local organizations

With 44 affiliates and 7 state offices in 17 states, Gamaliel works to build strong metropolitan and statewide organizations. National staff provides consulting, training and support to leaders and staff in local organizations.

We develop powerful leaders through training

Gamaliel organizes: three national weeklong trainings per year, an advanced leadership/strategic campaigns training, Ntosake training for women, African American Leadership Commission, National Clergy Caucus, and national leadership gathering in Washington, D.C. These events reach more than 1,000 in total in a typical year.

We run influential advocacy & nonpartisan civic engagement campaigns

Gamaliel helped pioneer advocacy and organizing on regional equity 15 years ago working with partners like john powell and the Ford Foundation. This work continues to be foundational to our policy and issue organizing.
