Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace Celebrates 25 years of Commitment and Action


On Sunday, Sept. 27th at All Saints Church in Pasadena, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace commemorated our 25th anniversary at the George Rev. George C. Regas Courageous Peacemaker Awards. You can see some of the images from the program above, and we were honored to lift up the work and courage of honorees Pasadena for Palestine, Father Chris Ponnet, Bishop John Taylor, Stephen Rohde, Francesca Albanese, and Rick Steves. You can see stirring speeches from Mike Farrell, Steve Rohde, and Francesca Albanese here, and if you follow the ICUJP Facebook page, you will be seeing more content over the coming weeks.

In creating this organization, the convenors who met just after September 11th in Los Angeles put extreme care into every word - we had to be interfaith, we must be focused on our communities no matter how large or small, and we all committed to make a united stand for justice and peace. 

Through all of the trials and tribulations we all have faced in the past quarter-century, we have held true to our mission to be the voice for "the least of these", and to stand up to tyranny and despotism in all its forms. From opposing the death penalty, to lifting up the valiant efforts of those engaged in fighting Islamophobia, Antisemitism and all forms of discrimination, to working for the rights of the undocumented and unhoused, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace has been determined to create the change we want to see in the world, no matter how daunting the opposition can seem.

We would be honored if you make a contribution and join this movement to lift up justice and peace in all its forms - for the past 25 years, and the next.

Become a Card-Carrying Member of Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace!

This year, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace is commemorating 25 years of advocacy for the disenfranchised and abused at home and around the world. In the aftermath of September 11th 2001, Los Angeles religious and secular leaders and activists came together to seek an alternative to the fear mongering and vengefulness sweeping much of our nation. ICUJP declared that  “Religious Communities Must Stop Blessing War and Violence.”

We have endured and spread our message through very trying times - five Presidents, four California Governors, and numerous crises and challenges that would shake the resolve of even the most devout and dedicated group of activists. But through it all, we have held true to our mission to be the voice for "the least of these."  We are determined to create the change we want to see in the world, no matter how daunting the opposition can seem. 

Like many nonprofits, the economy, the aftereffects of the Covid pandemic, and the constant attacks on progressive organizations by the Trump administration have affected our fundraising.  We depend on the support of people who believe in justice and peace, who attend our weekly Zoom forums, who go to our events, or who receive the information on our website and social media.

We would be honored if you can donate $25, $50, $100 (or more) to help us keep up with the increasing costs of securing live venues, renting audio and video equipment, printing valuable information for live events, bringing our social media tools up to date, and paying our small but mighty part-time staff.We have several ways for you to support our work:

You can go to the ICUJP donation page on our website to make a one-time donation, or spread your donation out monthly.

You can also visit our ICUJP Threadless Store where you can check out our new products with our brand new ICUJP 25th Anniversary logo! Make a purchase and wear your support for our organization, or give the gift of a tote bag, a mug, or a cute little onesie so your grandkids can be fashionable!

If you make a donation using either of these options, we will also send you a personalized ICUJP membership card for yourself or as a gift to print out:

ICUJP operates as a largely volunteer organization with a small part-time paid staff. We have survived for 25 years through the generosity of individuals like yourselves and organizations such as yours.

Thank you for your ongoing support – we are honoured to be standing shoulder to shoulder with you in the struggle for universal Justice and Peace.
