Save Your Saturday!

Our congregation is going to be hosting Super Saturday events for the Yeson4 Campaign on the 3rd Saturday of the month through the election in November. These events will be a chance for folks in our congregation and the wider community to gain new skills we can use to get out the vote for Amendment 4 on November 5th!

Mark your calendars now and plan to join us on:

June 15

July 20

August 17

September 21

October 19

The next event will be on Saturday, June 15th from 10am-12pm in the library. We will be focused on learning how to use a tool called REACH to communicate with our friends, family, and neighbors about Amendment 4 and encourage people to commit to voting in November. Please plan on bringing either your cell phone, tablet, or laptop, if available.

This is an awesome opportunity for our congregation to use our physical space as a resource for our partners in reproductive justice organizing and also to get some great publicity, by bringing people who might not know about us onto our campus and being out and proud about our social justice values.
