As Lutherans, living out our faith extends beyond our church walls and into the broader community, particularly in the political arena where our advocacy can lead to substantial change. This June, embrace your role in democracy by joining a series of compelling sessions hosted every Thursday at 5:30 PM PDT/MST by Autumn Byars, the 2023-24 Hunger Fellow with Lutheran Advocacy Ministry Arizona.

These weekly sessions, part of the Abide initiative, focus on empowering young voices in the ELCA to actively participate in the upcoming elections. Autumn Byars, along with other ELCA Advocacy Fellows, will guide discussions on the importance of young voter turnout, the ELCA’s strategies for election engagement, and how you can contribute to this pivotal process.

Session Details:

• When: Every Thursday in June, 5:30 PM PDT/MST

These sessions not only offer a platform to discuss and understand the impact of your vote but also prepare you to take concrete steps towards active civic engagement. Join us to ensure that your voice, driven by faith and commitment to justice, contributes to shaping our society.
