The 2024 elections have high stakes. In a world of escalating conflict, rising inequality, racial injustice, disinformation, and anti-democratic forces, all amid an ever-worsening climate crisis, a lot is on the line. FCNL focuses on policy change in Washington and no matter what happens at the polls, our work will continue.
Yet, elections are our greatest chance to participate in democracy and to organize and build power. Friends acknowledge the indispensable role of government in safeguarding the integrity of our society and the essential dignity of every human being. Citizens have the responsibility to participate vigorously in making government more responsive, open, and accountable.We encourage everyone to engage candidates, mobilize people to vote, volunteer to support access to the ballot, and help ensure a fair and peaceful election.
With so much uncertainty and fear this year, the faith voice and a faith presence in these elections is more important than ever.
