BRIDGING FAITHS FOR A STRONGER DEMOCRACY:
A kick-off event for the Wisconsin Interfaith Voter Engagement Project
Join us on Thursday, February 13, 6:00-8:30 p.m. to explore with persons of different faiths the intersection between faith and social justice, both personally and in our diverse traditions.
We will be inspired by performances by Milwaukee singer-songwriter Chris Crain and Madison actor Sarah Streich, courtesy of Forward Theater’s Two Steps Monologue Festival. We will also learn about the opportunities and challenges for congregations to engage in the public square.
This event is the kick-off to a year-long campaign to build bridges between faith communities and strengthen democracy by working together to increase voter engagement across Wisconsin, especially among those facing obstacles to voting due to ethnicity, race, age, economic status, or other factors.
The event will be held live in Milwaukee, Simultaneous facilitated meetings will be held around the state using remote conferencing technology.
