PMA INAUGURAL FUNDRAISER
Making God’s Invisible Justice Visible
An evening of faith, reflection, and action.
Pray March Act invites you to join us for our Inaugural Fundraiser, an evening celebrating what God has done through this growing movement and helping make what comes next possible.
PMA exists to equip Christians to put faith into action. We believe prayer should move us closer to our neighbors, faith should shape how we respond to injustice, and the Church has an important role to play in building a more just world.
On Thursday, October 15, 2026, we will gather in New York City for an evening of community, reflection, and shared commitment to the work ahead.
The event will take place from 6:00–9:00 PM at Redeemer W83, 150 W. 83rd Street, New York, NY 10024.
After-work attire is encouraged.
Why This Evening Matters
PMA is building a community of people who are willing to do more than recognize injustice.
We pray because this work begins with God.
We march because faith calls us to stand with our neighbors.
We act because justice requires more than good intentions.
This inaugural fundraiser is an opportunity to gather the people who believe in that vision, celebrate the foundation that has been built, and invest in PMA's ability to deepen and expand the work.
Whether you have prayed with us, marched with us, learned alongside us, supported this work from afar, or are just discovering PMA, you are invited to be part of what comes next.

Upcoming Events
Navigating the New York Gubernatorial Election as the NYC Church
As New York State prepares for the upcoming Gubernatorial Election, the decisions made in Albany will directly shape our neighborhoods, schools, local ministries, and communities across all five boroughs. But amid the election noise, it can be tough to cut through the rhetoric and focus on what truly matters to our city and our Church community.
Join Pray March Act for a clear, non-partisan online event tailored specifically for pastors, ministry leaders, and believers across New York City. We’ll break down what’s at stake, outline key election logistics, and explore how the Church in NYC can engage the civic process with wisdom, clarity, and grace.
"Seeking the peace and prosperity of the city (Jer 29:7)."
Whether you're a ministry leader helping guide your community or an individual believer looking to be a well-informed voter, this webinar will equip you to exercise your vote with confidence and purpose.
Thursday, October 22, 2026 | 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM

PMA 2026 Summer Book Club - In Person Discussion
An in person Conversation on Racial Equity with Dr. Oneya Fennell Okuwobi, author of PMA’s summer book club selection, Who Pays for Diversity? Why Programs Fail at Racial Equity and What to Do About It.
Together, we will explore why traditional diversity programs often fall short, the hidden costs they can place on employees of color, and how organizations can move beyond tokenism toward equity, dignity, and meaningful change.
Dr. Okuwobi is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati and a critical diversity scholar whose work examines how organizational practices can reproduce inequality. Her research offers thoughtful, practical approaches for creating institutions that authentically center marginalized people and communities.
Whether you are curious about racial equity or deeply committed to this work, we invite you to join us for an honest and engaging conversation about faith, inclusion, organizational change, and community healing.

Exilic Church, 240 W 37th St floor 2, New York, NY 10018
Join us for an urgent conversation on immigration enforcement and the theology of immigration. We will explore how past and present U.S. immigration laws, and the current administration’s interpretations and policy decisions, shape today’s intensified actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Together, we’ll engage Scripture’s call to welcome, protect, and advocate for our immigrant neighbors while learning how enforcement practices impact families and communities across the country. Attendees will leave with practical next steps both to continue educating themselves on this topic and to take action.
PMA Book Club - Black History Month
This February, our PMA community is invited to embark on a powerful journey by reading Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, written by Frederick Douglass himself. The Book Club will be led by Dr. Rachel Atkins.
Born into slavery in 1818, Douglass provides a profound autobiographical account that stands as one of the most influential narratives in American history. It's more than just a historical record; it's a testament to the power of hope, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.
A Focus on Faith & Justice
As a community striving to follow Christ and pursue justice in our city, this book offers a unique opportunity for reflection. A central theme in Douglass's work is the piercing contrast between "true Christianity" and the distorted "slaveholding Christianity" of his era. We will explore:
What does "true Christianity" look like in the face of systemic injustice?
How can Douglass's prophetic voice guide our actions today?
