Progressive Religion

All too often in the United States, religion is portrayed as a stronghold of right-wing reactionaries. The reality is that there are many religious institutions and individuals across the country who express their faith through their dedication to progressive causes. They are champions of social change of all kinds, yet their contributions can be overlooked.

Douglas Gould and Company has decades of experience working with progressive churches and faith-based groups on issues ranging from child advocacy to LGBT inclusion. We are passionate about ensuring that progressive religious voices are heard in the media, online and around the country.
