Increased support will allow Faith & Politics to convene forums for critical diversity, equity and inclusion public policy discussions
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Faith & Politics Institute has announced an expanded partnership with Raytheon Technologies Corporation (NYSE: RTX). The increased investment from Raytheon Technologies will support the annual Faith & Politics bipartisan Congressional Civil Rights Pilgrimages. Additionally, it will allow Faith & Politics to drive important bipartisan conversations around critical diversity, equity and inclusion policy discussions.
Raytheon Technologies, through its predecessor United Technologies Corporation, has been a consistent supporter and participant of the annual bipartisan Congressional Civil Rights Pilgrimages.
Since 1998, The Faith & Politics Institute has led annual bipartisan Congressional Civil Rights Pilgrimages to five southern states affording hundreds of members of the U.S. House and Senate an experiential journey through the American civil rights movement as well as international trips. Described by some members as one of the most valuable experiences of their time in Congress, the bipartisan pilgrimages offer opportunities for engaged and reflective dialogue that transcends politics.
“We are so appreciative of Raytheon Technologies continued support of our important initiatives here at the institute,” said Joan Mooney, chief executive officer of the Faith & Politics Institute. “We are proud of the work we are able to do to inspire political leaders to reflect and engage with one another for the good of our nation, by bridging racial, religious, and political divisions among elected officials.”
“We’re proud to have supported the important work of Faith & Politics since 2014 and remain committed to its mission,” said Tim McBride, Senior Vice President of Global Government Relations at Raytheon Technologies. “The Faith & Politics Institute serves as the most important forum for convening elected officials from both political parties to discuss meaningful policies that address some of the most difficult issues facing our country including, race, equity and inclusion.”
