About DART
DART is one of the largest faith-based community organizing networks in the country. We believe that fighting for racial and economic justice is fundamental to the identity of people of faith, and we know that successfully fighting for justice requires having power in the public arena. DART has been organizing interfaith coalitions to build power since 1982. A few of our victories include:
- Hundreds of millions of dollars invested in affordable housing
- Implementation of fair discipline policies in hundreds of schools, cracking the school-to-prison pipeline
- $950 million invested in public transportation, ensuring people can get to home, work, or wherever they need to go
- Criminal justice reforms resulting in 50,000 fewer arrests of children
Our 31 Justice Ministry Organizations are building power in their local communities to solve serious community problems. DART supports each of these organizations by training grassroots leaders, finding and training professional community organizers, and providing in-depth consulting.
