Civic Activism
Civic engagement is crucial in ensuring that Black and Brown communities are seen and heard! It is our life’s work to make sure that these communities “Get Out To Vote” at each election and follow through in exercising their political power between election cycles.
We’re speaking with OUR people about what freedom could and should look like. Our votes, our voices, and the push to reclaim our power brings us closer to that reality.
We invite voters from across all of Central Pennsylvania, Greater Philadelphia, and the Lehigh Valley into one-to-one conversations about their vision for their families, local communities, and the nation as a whole.
We Need Change. We Are The Change.
Non-Partisan Voting Toolkit
We believe that a strong democracy depends on an informed, engaged electorate – and faith communities have a special role to play. With this in mind, we created a Voting Toolkit to equip our congregations with the knowledge and resources need to accomplish their civic duty.
BLACK FAITH VOTES
We all know the important role of houses of worship in the Black community.
Black Faith Votes empowers congregations of all faith traditions through active participation in the democratic process.
In addition, Black Faith Votes seeks to establish strong relationships with leaders of Black congregations across Pennsylvania, encouraging citizens to exercise their right to vote and stay informed about critical political issues.
Black Faith Votes is calling on YOU to host a Soul Food Dinner, a powerful tradition with a purpose. These dinners are more than just a meal – they’re a chance to connect with our community, share our hopes and fears, and strategize for a brighter future. Hosts and participants can expect to:
- Share Stories & Experiences
- Connect Across Generations
- Learn & Discuss The Power of Civic Participation
- Take Action Together
POWER Interfaith will provide a stipend to help cover the cost, training on how to facilitate the conversation, and resources needed to help you host a successful dinner that empowers your guests to take ownership of their political agency on Election Day and beyond.
No matter your experience, you can be a leader in your community.
