 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

 Justice and Advocacy Team Hosts "The Sacred Vote:  Faith, Democracy, and the Ongoing Struggle for Voting Rights"


Although voting is a principal civic responsibility, it is also intertwined with sacred values. In recent years, voting rights have faced renewed pressure from proposed and enacted changes to mail-in voting, voter identification requirements, redistricting practices, and other election rules. At a time when trust in democratic institutions is already fragile, legislation that may narrow voter participation rather than strengthen it warrants moral scrutiny and thoughtful public engagement. Come learn about the history of voting, the sacred nature of the vote, and current legislation and court rulings directed at voting rights.
