Civic Engagement

“Voting is a Civic Sacrament.”

~ Rev. Theodore Hesburgh

Using Our Voices to Make a Difference

Our year-round civic engagement program highlights the essential role of faith and goodwill in the democratic process. Voting is more than a civic duty—it is a means to secure good governance. The ballot box provides a vital opportunity to support leaders who embody fairness, compassion, and integrity.

Many of our faiths, values, and moral convictions do not call for us to withdraw from public life. On the contrary, lasting social change requires informed political participation. The public square is a place where our deepest inner values can be lived out authentically—by caring for our families and communities and by advancing policies rooted in justice.

Get Out the Vote (GOTV)

We mobilize people of faith and goodwill to organize activities that encourage participation at the ballot box. By building engagement within faith communities, we strengthen democracy from the ground up.

Voter Education

We provide and help coordinate opportunities for people of faith to learn about upcoming elections, essential voter information, and Virginia Interfaith priority issues. Our work supports clergy leaders in building 100% voting congregations.

Voter Protection

We equip people of faith and goodwill with tools to confront voter suppression, misinformation, and inequitable polling conditions—ensuring every voice is heard and every vote is counted.
