Legislator Visits

With support from the Center, chapters organize to meet with legislators in their home districts to inform them of the key policy priorities of the Center and ask that they be champions for progress.

Educational Programs

Throughout the year, chapter members collaborate with the Center to put together educational programs including film screenings, panels, and speaker series. These programs increase community engagement and further educate the public about Center policy priority issues that impact low-income, vulnerable, and underrepresented communities in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

ex. Social Justice University
One of our flagship programs, Social Justice University, is a series designed to teach members of the faith community how to promote social justice by becoming advocates for systemic change.  SJU attendees receive training materials and hear from leaders about issues, advocacy techniques, and grassroots organizing.  As a hands-on learning experience, participants are empowered to take these skills back to their local community and bring more voices into the legislative and political process.

Social Gatherings and Interfaith Fellowship

Chapter members get together throughout the year to fellowship and share in the spirit of social justice. Events include coffee hours, letter-writing sessions, networking house parties, communal meals, prayer services/vigils, and group service projects.
