Write for CSA

Christians for Social Action publishes thoughtful articles at the intersection of faith and social justice. We are always on the lookout for new voices, especially those from underrepresented communities. If you have a piece you think would be a good fit for CSA, please consider sending us a pitch.

In evaluating all submissions, we ask the following questions:

  1. Does the article have a  justice angle/element and connect to Christian faith?
  2. Does the article prompt discussion, curiosity, and/or action? 
  3. Is the article helpful, moving beyond simple criticism and into finding a solution? 
  4. Is the article hopeful and does it stir the imagination for what a fuller expression of Christian faithfulness looks like?
  5. Is the author a good fit with CSA? 

All pitches should include:

  • 100-200-word summary of the article with reference to any current events 
  • 50-word bio with links to past articles/books and any personal/organizational social accounts

Please allow up to a week for a response. If your submission is time-sensitive (for example, a current event), please indicate that in the subject line.

Thank you for your interest in CSA.

AI Usage for CSA Contributors

CSA values authentic, human-crafted storytelling. We welcome thoughtful engagement with big ideas — but we believe those ideas are best shared in the unique voice, experience, and creativity of the writer. To that end:

  • Submissions must be your own original work. Articles generated primarily by AI (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) will not be accepted.
  • Limited use of AI tools for supportive tasks (e.g., grammar checks, light editing, idea brainstorming) is acceptable — but the core writing, theological reflection, and voice must be your own.
  • If AI played a significant role in shaping your draft, please disclose this when you submit. Transparency helps us maintain the integrity of CSA’s voice and mission.

Our goal is not to discourage the use of new tools, but to ensure that the work we publish reflects the heart, lived experience, and theological depth of real people seeking to follow Jesus in the world today.
