Redistribution means creating equal access to resources, power, and opportunity for all humanity. When God’s people commit to living in marginalized and low-status communities, seek to be good neighbors, exemplify what it means to be a follower of Christ, work for justice for the entire community, and utilize resources to address the problems of the community alongside their neighbors, then redistribution is being practiced. A lifestyle of redistribution confronts the unjust distribution of our economic, social, educational, and relational resources. It breaks down our systems of poverty and oppression and decreases the economic disparity in our communities. As a result, our communities are able to flourish with the resources they need to do so. Join Darryl Answer to learn more about the CCD component of Redistribution.

Inequality has an origin. In this course, you will learn about the American system of incarceration that cripples those who have been involved in it. This system also specifically imprisons more black and brown people than any other racial groups. But from where did this disparity come?
