In a distinctive move, SJSP secured a 501c3 religious status in 2020, making it the sole social justice based religion in existence and setting them apart from religions worldwide.

• Why This Matters: The narrow definition of peaceful protest threatens activist rights, due to the many anti-protest bills introduced by the GOP, since 2017. However, SJSP's approach offers a theoretical extra layer of protection to its members under the 1st Amendment's religious clause; a crucial game changer amidst the current tumultuous political landscape. The SJSP framework and strategies most importantly; aim to keep peaceful protestors safe.

The additional significance of this strategy lies in the framing of peaceful protest as a political act and as a religious one. This unique positioning challenges the traditional use of religious ideology for political gain and sets a new precedent in the intersection of spirituality and social justice. This innovative approach redefines activism engagement, offering a new perspective on the role of religion in societal change.
