Interfaith Action Network: What's Next?!
RSVP to this EventWhat can progressive faith communities in WNC do in the aftermath of Helene and elections?
If you participated in the Interfaith Voter Action Network (IVAN) as a participant, leader, or partner, we invite you to join us for this discussion about the potential future of this progressive faith coalition working for justice. What would an Interfaith Action Network (IAN) look like? What could you or your organization or faith institution gain and/or give if we organized together for justice? Help us decide if/how IAN can use shared values to offer a united progressive voice for people of faith to speak truth to power and support marginalized and impacted populations. Anyone who believes in the potential power of a unified faith voice is encouraged to attend! -
