Capital Area Justice Ministry
Background
What is the Capital Area Justice Ministry?
The Capital Area Justice Ministry is a diverse coalition of 20 religious congregations working together over the long haul to build a powerful movement that will end segregation and poverty, and advance justice and opportunity for all in the Tallahassee, Florida area.
We endeavor to build justice ministries within and among our congregations and engage faith community across the Big Bend to build authentic relationships so we can dismantle the oppressive local systems that have produced inequity, segregation, and the wealth gap between privileged and marginalized communities.
Current work
We are working to push our elected officials to establish and fund affordable housing for very and extremely low-income families. We’re also fighting for proven programs to reduce gun violence in Tallahassee.

Our latest Nehemiah Action
In March 2024 the Capital Area Justice Ministry held a large public assembly of concerned citizens from all over Tallahassee. In this meeting we urged local officials to address pressing communities issues such as rising gun violence and the lack of affordable housing for very low income families in our communities. Listen to our platform and hear our local public officials’ responses to the people’s voice here.
