Wisconsin Interfaith Voter Engagement Campaign
“The right to vote is almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have in a democracy.” –Rep. John Lewis Wisconsin Council of Churches (WCC) and Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice(WFVJ) are partnering together to engage the interfaith community in the democratic process. It is our belief that engaging in this work will build increased understanding and stronger ties among different faith communities; increase engagement in the electoral process; and result in a greater understanding by faith communities of the influential role they can play in the public square. Widespread voter engagement is needed to ensure that elected leaders will pay attention to the needs of all their constituents, especially those who are least often listened to, and who have the most at stake in the decisions made by our elected officials.
