ep [105] Justin Giboney is an attorney and political strategist in Atlanta, GA. He is also the Co-Founder and President of the AND Campaign, which is a coalition of urban Christians who are determined to address the sociopolitical arena with the compassion and conviction of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Mr. Giboney has managed successful campaigns for elected officials in the state and referendums relating to the city’s transportation and water infrastructure.
In 2012 and 2016, Georgia’s 5th congressional district elected him as a delegate for the Democratic National Convention and he served as the co-chair of Obama for America’s Gen44-Atlanta initiative. A former Vanderbilt University football player and law student, Justin served on the Urban League of Greater Atlanta Board of Directors. He’s written op-eds for publications such as Christianity Today and The Hill.
On this episode I learn a lot. I think, like a lot of people, it is easier for me to not engage in tough discourse about politics. I find that avoiding the conflict is a lot easier than leaning into some of these questions. But, what does that mean for the Christian witness? Do Christians have a responsibility to the common good and entering into the political arena? Justin come on the show to talk about all of that. We talk about the AND Campaign and the amazing work they are doing. Justin also introduces his book called Compassion and Conviction: The AND Campaign’s Guide to Faithful Civic Engagement. We talk about racism in America and how we can look toward tangible policies that can effect change. You are going to get a lot out of this discussion. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
