[In a world that seems increasingly chaotic and broken, many of us feel helpless and afraid. We may question what we can do to make a difference. To build collective courage, in this space we will share examples of how individual members of GEC are practicing the way of Jesus, in private action or in the public arena. How might you find inspiration and hope in the small steps others are taking?]

Voting rights are under attack!

The All Roads Lead to South website says:

"Our parents and grandparents marched, organized, bled, and won. The Voting Rights Act was theirs. The fight to keep it is ours."

"Right now, state by state, that law is being dismantled. We know that we cannot fight the same battles the same way. New times demand new tactics — economic pressure, political organizing, community action, culture, and faith. But we know what we know: organizing works. And we have unfinished business."

Check out their website at allroadsleadtothesouth.org

The site covers ways to volunteer, organize locally, stay updated, and check your own voting status all in the effort to preserve voting rights.
