Olivia Bardo For the past six years, Sojourners has celebrated Women’s History Month by sharing a list of Christian women who are bringing us hope and inspiring us to action. This year’s group includes pastors and poets, abolitionists and mothers, liturgists and storytellers; women who question authority, disrupt unjust systems, set boundaries, reimagine what’s possible, and pray. From advocating for prison abolition to restoring land to Indigenous people, these women are leading the way. Collectively, they are shaping the church into a more inclusive, bold, accessible, creative, and action-oriented community of believers who more fully honor the rhythms and identities within the family of God. We thank these leaders for their wisdom and praise God for their witness of radical justice. We asked each leader to share why their work is so important, describe their vision of justice, and offer a prayer or blessings for 2022. We hope that you’ll grow and pray alongside these visionaries. MEET THE WOMEN WE'RE HONORING THIS YEAR
