Thank you, Poll Chaplains/Peacekeepers!
During early voting and election day, you stood in the gap and provided a moral presence and vital support to voters in need across the country. You showed up as nonviolent peacemakers creating calm in the face of potential turbulence.
Blessings to you for your service!
Faiths United to Save Democracy
(FUSD) is a nonpartisan, multi-racial, multi-faith, and multi-generation 2022-2024 voter protection campaign focused in the states of AL. AZ. FL. GA. MI. NC. OH. PA. TX. WI. It is rooted in the belief that everyone is made in the image of God and deserves the freedom to vote.
The FUSD campaign exists to overcome the recent assault on democracy, making it more difficult for voters who are low-income, black and brown, elderly, students, and disabled to exercise their sacred right to vote. Elections are a test of our democracy and our faith. Early planning and even more robust strategic engagement by the faith community is critical.
