Spring 2024 Check-ins

RNS is committed to the continued support of Charter signatories. RNS staff conduct periodic check-ins with organizations. The most recent check-ins occurred throughout the spring of 2024, with 15 of the 33 signatories. Each organization answered eight questions regarding their work on anti-racism and the Charter. The data gathered from these check-ins helps RNS understand how organizations use the Charter, determine what resources or support is needed from RNS, support RNS’ advocacy efforts, and support information sharing amongst current and potential signatories.
