This looks like a really good activist progressive organization: Faithful America

What is Faithful America?

Faithful America is an online community of tens of thousands of citizens motivated by faith to take action on the pressing moral issues of our time. We come from diverse faith traditions but share a unifying commitment: to restore community and uphold the common good in America and across the globe. In service to this core commitment, we seek to:

end poverty and promote economic security for all
promote peace and restore America's commitment to human rights and diplomacy
prevent the catastrophic effects of climate change
counter hate speech and misinformation in the media pertaining to people of faith
work for welcoming communities where immigrants and people of all faiths are welcome

By speaking out, mobilizing and taking action in the public square, we are building a powerful grassroots movement to put justice and the common good back at the center of the American values debate. At this critical juncture, when our actions or inaction will have profound and permanent global consequences, our faiths demand nothing less.

steering it hard right, I suspect.

They never miss an opportunity to squelch alternative viewpoints.

They provide a strong voice for those of faith that actually care about the people and world around them.

After almost ten years ... right wing nut job types are NOT welcome
