Projecting Faith-Based Power Nationally

This research analyzes the recent work of the PICO National Network in striving to reshape national policy on healthcare, public education, housing, neighborhood safety, and immigration, under the rubric of "faith-based community organizing" (FBCO). Current work focuses on the strategic capacity and internal network structure of the PICO New Voices initiative, the first serious effort to project FBCO power at the national level.
