Public Leaders for Inclusion Fellowship
America Indivisible is honored to welcome the 2021 Public Leaders for Inclusion (PLI) fellowships to the social learning community, ReligionAndPublicLife.org. This program is designed for early-career scholars with an aptitude for working with diverse communities and a drive to challenge anti-Muslim bigotry and other forms of hate in their communities.
America Indivisible recognizes that there is a growing network of government officials working tirelessly to cultivate civic spaces for their diverse constituents. America Indivisible’s cross-country Civics Roundtables have demonstrated that despite their challenges, communities who are impacted by hate and underrepresented and underserved by their governments are actively strengthening their civic health. Still, hate groups proliferate across the country and anti-Muslim bigotry against those perceived to be Muslim abounds.
The PLI Fellowship and the companion courses at ReligionAndPublicLife.org are the answers to this challenge. Our programs are designed to empower the growing movement of new scholars and young professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to challenge hate and build inclusive and civically healthy communities. America Indivisible invites these student leaders to apply their religious and cultural literacy and civic skills to public service.
PLI Fellows are spending ten weeks, from June 7, 2021 to August 13, 2021, working to support the inclusion and anti-bigotry efforts of a city, state, or county agency. After being selected from a national search, Fellows are paired with a public official mentor and over the course of the program will partner with them on initiatives to raise awareness about racialized anti-Muslim bigotry and other forms of hate while designing a new program to build the civic health of impacted communities.
What does it include?
- A paid 10-week full-time fellowship
- Ten-week online training program at ReligionAndPublicLife.org on interfaith cooperation and religious literacy in public service and governance;
- A dedicated government mentor (from city, state, or county level government).
While providing early career experience in public service for participating Fellows, America Indivisible will also enhance the capacity of the government officials to engage in deeper and more meaningful ways with their local underrepresented minority ethnic, racial, and religious communities, including members of the Arab, Black, Muslim, Sikh, and South Asian American communities.
