“It is a Christian obligation to vote, and more than that, it is the church’s responsibility to help get souls to the polls.” -Presiding Bishop Michael Curry     

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all voters engagement activities will be virtual in 2020.  You, like me, believe God calls us to build a multi-racial beloved community that advances a future where families of all races in Indiana thrive.  Yet, almost daily, our families, churches, and communities are bombarded by a toxic worldview that seeks to stoke racial and economic anxiety for political gain.

How do we, as  prophetic leaders, talk about race, voting, and economic hardship in a way that brings people together?

• Equip ourselves to engage simultaneously around race and class in ways that strengthen social solidarity, reduce division among race and class lines and call out scapegoating
• create viable alternative narratives, rooted in our values
• Make plans to advance this prophetic narrative in our faith communities and across Indiana
