Does NJL have any express political commitments?
New Jerusalem is not affiliated with any political party, nor do its members subscribe to any single political ideology. We do, however, believe that the work of rebuilding communities on the verge of self-destruction is unavoidably political. We believe that recovery is about fostering an awareness of and a commitment to change the conditions of poverty, homelessness, hopelessness, and disempowerment that feed the social disease of addiction. For this reason, we work to support organizations that are challenging the structures of injustice, oppression, discrimination, and neglect that create these conditions.
