WISCONSIN FAITH VOICES FOR JUSTICE - moving from charity to justice

We are Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice. We draw on the wisdom, courage, and strength of our various faith traditions to advance the common good. As progressive people of faith committed to crossing religious boundaries, we uphold the dignity of all human beings. Through advocacy, education, and partnership, we lift the voices of those who are underserved.

Who We Are, What We Do, Why We Do It

WFVJ ED Speaks to PBS on Voter Suppression

Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice Executive Director Rabbi Bonnie Margulis was interviewed on Here and Now on PBS Wisconsin on the voter suppression efforts in our state legislature.

People CAN Handle the Truth!

American citizens CAN handle the truth. As a matter of fact, the truth will set us free.

We can fight back – not just to stop the efforts to silence the truth, but to build a plan to proactively promote equity and anti-racism in every community in our state.

Together, we can build momentum for a movement that demands that we tell our children (and ourselves) the truth. We can build a movement that calls on our country to become the great place it can be, not to pretend it is something it never was.
