Report from the Capital
BJC publishes Report from the Capital, a quarterly magazine providing news and analysis about issues impacting faith freedom for all. Want to receive it in the mail? Subscriptions are free! Join our mailing list.
We are building a movement together in 2026 and beyond as we create power in communities. With new beginnings for our board, our mission statement, and our office space, we are continuing to equip young professionals for a lifetime of advocacy, honor the Sanctuary Movement, support a 25-year-old law that protects prisoners’ religious freedom rights, and more as new threats to religious freedom and democracy emerge. You can find details on all of those new horizons in the pages of this magazine. We are preparing for what’s ahead and working in the now, with rest, resilience, and renewed commitments for whatever may come our way.
