About Us

Progressive Faith Media is a resource to ease media access to moderate and progressive religious leaders prepared to comment on faith and politics. It was initiated by Res Publica in response to religious leaders’ concern that the faith and values debate too often pits far-right religious leaders against far-left secularists. On the most profound issues of public debate – those involving our values and religious beliefs – the media and public must hear from more diverse and representative religious voice. The Speakers Bureau includes national spokespeople from different faiths representing decades of service in the prophetic tradition. PFM provides journalists and producers with background on the resurgent progressive religious voice on America ’s morality debate.

Progressive Faith Media's staff of seven is led by Eric Sanders and Jennifer Mason with support from Stephanie Peacock.

Eric Sanders has been working on cause-related marketing campaigns for over ten years and has focused primarily on HIV/AIDS community activism and media relations. He has built and implemented quick-response teams that have generated tens of thousands of communications to legislators on pressing issues and pending legislation. He has been a successful entrepreneur and volunteered for more than a decade with God’s Love We Deliver.

Jennifer Mason graduated summa cum laude in government and theology from the University of Notre Dame and from New York University Law. She served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Her subsequent legal practice at Holland and Knight has focused on civil rights, children’s rights, and the First Amendment. She has previously worked as outreach coordinator for West Women's and Children's Shelter as a Holy Cross Associate.

Stephanie Peacock serves as a communications consultant for Progressive Faith Media. She has extensive experience in designing and implementing cause-related communications campaigns and has previously served as the director of communications for the National Women’s Business Council and the Center for Women’s Business Research.
