Our Faith, Our Vote
“Let us not love with words or speech, but in action and in truth”
1 John 3:18
Our Faith Our Vote
In addressing the issues prevalent in this current climate, we are powerfully reminded of the most vulnerable among us. As people of faith, we believe in the moral call to care for those in need. It is critical that our elected officials place the wellbeing of people over that of corporations, and that the first priority of Congress is to make sure that everyone has access to the resources they need for their health and wholeness.
The 2024 Our Faith Our Vote campaign asks the church to answer the call of 1 John 3:18 to “let us not love with words or speech, but in action and in truth,” by “voting with love.” Vote with love for creation, for our neighbors both here and abroad, for a just peace, for repair and reconciliation of the brokenness of our nation. And encourage your family, friends, and community to do the same. At the Our Faith Our Vote webpage below you will be able to check your voter registration, and learn about the critical issues in this election. We must see that our vote, our public voice, is a sacred act. An act of justice. An act of LOVE to ensure that we build a nation and “just world” for all.
