Friend, The Faith in Action community is rooted in love. When tragedy and despair befall members of this community, we put our love into action to help, support, heal, and ultimately seek justice for those afflicted. I know this because our communities have lived through unspeakable tragedies this year. When a white supremacist gunned down 10 of our siblings in Buffalo, New York, Faith in Action affiliate VOICE Buffalo was there ministering to families, ensuring people had access to food and mental health counseling, and guiding the collective grief and healing process that will take years. The entire Faith in Action community supported VOICE Buffalo with an outpouring of generosity. Your donations made possible the urgent work of Rev. Denise Walden-Glenn and her entire team. In the year ahead, we’ll continue to support our affiliates across the country with the direct service and organizing support they require. We will invest in the leadership of Black and Brown women as we carry on the life-saving work of ending white supremacy everywhere in this country. |
