As a Jesus Rooted, Justice Centered, Radically Inclusive community, Zao MKE Church has a responsibility to publicly participate in street level organizing towards liberation - spiritually, personally, and materially. This includes the Movement for Black Lives, marches and events related to Pridefest and LGBTQ liberation, the protection of rights for immigrants and refugees, and more.  

Zao community members and pastors are often in the streets living out their faith and call to liberation with public demonstrations demanding justice for all. We offer learning and teaching opportunities for those who wish to deepen their understanding of topics like Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ liberation, and police and prison abolition from the viewpoint of faith. 

Zao members and leaders also use their many platforms (on social media and elsewhere) to amplify the work and voices of liberation. Behind the scenes, the Zao community contributes to the flourishing of movements for justice by providing spiritual counseling, prayer, organizing leadership, and both monetary and material aid through The Depot.
