The Wisconsin Council of Churches and Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice, which have been partnering on an Interfaith Voter Engagement Campaign, are committed to work that educates and informs voters, protects democracy and promotes nonviolent action against voter suppression which particularly targets BIPOC communities. We lift up a vision of an inclusive, multiracial democracy. We have been praying during the season between the Election and Inauguration, knowing that this time requires our faithful attention.
In response to threats of political violence during inauguration week, we are recruiting faith leaders to be on call for online vigils (leading on Zoom, with the call also available for viewing on Facebook). Being on call means you will watch for an email requesting your presence in a vigil and providing login information. You commit to being ready to join other interfaith leaders with prayer, sacred reading, song, or reflections from your own tradition, appropriate to the mood and events of the day.
Please join us:
- Let us know you’re willing to join our on-call response
- RSVP (Zoom) (Facebook) to view and share our 50-minute scheduled vigils at 9:30 am Central on
- Sunday January 17
- Monday January 18
- Tuesday January 19
- Wednesday January 20
