United Methodists have a long tradition of social justice work stemming from John Wesley's teachings on both personal and social piety. The church's Social Principles outline its stances on issues including racism, poverty, workers' rights, war, and the environment. The General Board of Church and Society leads several initiatives to advocate for policies helping the poor, such as the "I Am Prophet-Driven" campaign and online advocacy through the UM Power Action Center. The board also publishes a weekly newsletter to inform Methodists about social justice issues and opportunities to get involved.
