A Time to Come Together
Wisconsin Faith Voices For Justice commends the efforts of all statewide get out to vote initiatives and wholeheartedly supports those working to ensure the integrity and protection of this year's election results. As people of faith across the state of Wisconsin, we stand together to affirm our commitment to justice, equality, and the dignity of every individual. In these challenging times, it is our collective responsibility to raise our voices and to work towards a fair and equitable society.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Rhonda Lindner and the entire Wisconsin Interfaith Voter Engagement Campaign (WIVEC) team for their outstanding efforts in mobilizing voters and fostering civic engagement. Their dedication exemplifies the spirit of service that our communities desperately need.
We would also like to recognize the over 70 poll chaplains who volunteered their time to provide a peaceful and pastoral presence at the polls. Their commitment to creating a respectful environment in the central count locations throughout the state has not gone unnoticed.
As we navigate these challenging times, it is vital to focus on our shared values and the common good. By promoting unity and purpose, we can bridge divides and create a more equitable world for all. This is a time for faith communities to come together, uplift one another, and stand in solidarity to advocate for policies that reflect our deepest values of justice and compassion.
Let us embrace the democratic process and respond peacefully to all election results at the national, state, and local levels. Our democracy does not rise or fall based on the results of an election. Instead, our nation's success lies in the hands of all of those who call this place our home.
This is not a time to shrink back. It is a time to rise with a common voice that commits to love and hope while also speaking loudly against anything or anyone who is oppressive, harmful, hateful or self-serving. We invite all people of faith to join this movement, to engage in discussions, and to mobilize their communities. Together, we can ensure that every voice is heard and that every human being is treated with dignity.
Sincerely
Matt Kendziera
Executive Director
