In this time of chaotic political rhetoric, it’s easy to question the impact of your own voice. But I continue to be inspired by faithful advocates — like you — who persist in fighting for justice.
In just a few months, hundreds of advocates will gather in Washington, DC for our Advocacy Summit to speak up for the rights of vulnerable women and children. We will fill the halls of power and raise our voices to help bring an end to violence in Central America. Our voices do have power — and when we raise them together, that power is amplified.
And even before the Summit gets here, there are many ways to raise your voice now. Start a conversation with your friends and neighbors. Share my colleague Jim Martin’s recent article in Christianity Today. Contact your elected officials in support of the new Central America Women and Children Protection Act.
Take a step. Raise your voice. And know that other advocates will be right there with you.
Until all are free,
Nate King
Regional Mobilization Manager
