Dear Faith Leaders, Community Organizers, and People of Conscience,
In this critical moment for our communities and our democracy, we invite you to join two upcoming virtual gatherings designed to mobilize, strategize, and stand in bold moral witness together. Your voice, your leadership, and your presence matter.
1. Open Clergy Call – Moral Monday Mobilization
Date: Tuesday, June 24, 2025
Time: 8:00 PM Eastern Time
Register: https://bit.ly/
This open call is for clergy, people of conscience, and communities who want to have the resources and language to address this immoral budget in their local context. Also, for those wanting to participate in the Moral Monday Action in Washington, D.C., on June 30. Learn how to bring a delegation, serve as a moral witness, or help deliver critical testimony and reports to lawmakers.
We are especially seeking stories from:
- Individuals for whom Medicaid is a lifeline
- Families harmed by SNAP cuts
- Those dependent on housing assistance
- Rural hospital staff, caregivers, and elders in nursing homes
- Faith communities impacted by ICE raids and the selling of public lands
-
If you know someone who should testify or be involved, please join the call.
2. Project 100 Organizing Meeting
Date: Sunday, June 29, 2025
Time: 8:00 PM Eastern Time
Join: bit.ly/
Project 100 is a growing faith-rooted effort to organize and inform lay, clergy, and communities across the states to stay involved in civic engagements beyond the ballot box. Whether you're new to the movement or a longtime leader, this meeting is your opportunity to plug in and stay involved.
We are building power across pulpits and pews, from sanctuaries to statehouses—and we need you.
Take Action:
- Register for both meetings today.
- Invite fellow clergy and organizers in your network.
- Share testimonies and stories that must be heard at the highest levels.
If you have any questions or would like to nominate someone to speak, testify, or organize locally, reply to this email directly.
With moral courage and fierce hope,
Dr. Hanna R. Broome
