“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
A Call to Action: In the tradition of Civil Rights speak-outs and in solidarity with those now inspired to establish "Moral Mondays," our “Faithful Friday”event is a call to people of all faiths to testify to the impact of ALEC-derived laws and public policies on our human family and our stewardship of the earth.Faith leaders and communities have a rich legacy of providing witness on matters of social justice, civil and human rights. We also have a sacred obligation to help bend the moral arc of the universe towards justice.

Join faith leaders and people of all faith traditions, or none, whose hearts are deeply troubled by what we see in our country to bring their passion for justice back into the public square and reclaim the “fierce urgency of now!”
