Repairers of the Breach is a nonpartisan 501c3 tax exempt not-for-profit organization that seeks to build a moral agenda rooted in a framework that uplifts our deepest moral and constitutional values to redeem the heart and soul of our country. We challenge the position that the preeminent moral issues are prayer in public schools, abortion, and property rights. Instead, we declare that the moral public concerns of our faith traditions are how our society treats the poor, women, LGBTQ people, children, workers, immigrants, communities of color, and the sick--the people whom Jesus calls “the least of these.” Our moral traditions point to equal protection under the law, the desire for peace within and among nations, the dignity of all people, and the responsibility to care for our common home.

Repairers of the Breach was founded in 2015 by the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II as a way to organize, train, and work with a diverse school of prophets from every U.S. state and the District of Columbia. Based in Goldsboro, North Carolina, Repairers of the Breach works nationally to advance a moral agenda that uplifts our deepest constitutional and moral values of love, justice, and mercy. Our training institute (the Moral Political Organizing Leadership Institute Summit or MPOLIS) provides moral activists with the support and tools they need to engage moral analysis, moral articulation, and moral activism regarding public policy.

In 2016, Repairers of the Breach published the “Higher Ground Moral Declaration,” a moral public policy framework, which guides our work and is used by moral activists seeking to shift state and federal policies. The publication of this document coincided with the launch of “The Revival: Time for a Moral Revolution of Values,” a national moral revival tour, which served as a catalyst for renewed moral activism among faith and community leaders. The first leg of the tour covered 15 states and the District of Columbia, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, and New York, from April 2016 through January 2017. On September 12, 2016 Repairers of the Breach organized a “Moral Day of Action” in over half the states, the largest coordinated action on state capitals in U.S. history, calling for state governments to embrace the “Higher Ground Moral Declaration.”

In 2017, Repairers of the Breach joined the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice, the Popular Education Project, and hundreds of local and national partners, to launch the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. This multi-state movement has emerged from more than a decade of work by grassroots community and religious leaders, organizations, and movements fighting to end systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, environmental destruction, and other injustices.

To repair the breach caused by centuries of systemic oppression and injustice in our country, we must organize, train, and work together with this diverse school of prophets and moral activists who represent every state and the District of Columbia. They shall be called, "The Repairers of the Breach:  The Restorers of Our Communities."
