The #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct is critical to defending our democratic process and the right of each American to have their voice heard and counted.

We encourage every Senator to support this legislation and to vote to advance it tomorrow. #VotingRights #RestoreTheVRA

[UCC Washington D.C. Office @justice_ucc]

We have the opportunity to address some of the longstanding racial & gender inequities that have only been exacerbated by the pandemic & to take meaningful steps to recognize & address our role in the #ClimateCrisis.

Congress must act. #BuildBackBetter

"Our faith traditions teach us that every human is created in the divine image."

Rev. Kevin VanHook of @RiversideNYC calls for Gov. Cuomo to sign #HALTsolitary.

[#HALTsolitary — Go to bit.ly/EndSolitaryNY @NYCAIC]

Rev. Kevin McCall of @RiversideNYC says, "God never meant for us to be in isolation. Solitary is a torture of the body & mind. All we're asking is for the Governor to stop torture, save money & make us all safer. The legislature did the moral thing. @NYGovCuomo must do the same."

[NYSCouncilofChurches @NYSCofChurches]

By Midnight, March 31, Governor Cuomo must decide whether he will sign or veto the #HALTsolitary bill. On March 31, at 10:00 AM join @NYSCofChurches and faith leaders for a press conference calling on @NYGovCuomo to sign the bill. @EpiscopalNY @RiversideNYC @ICNY @TrinityWallSt
