Action Alerts: Help Us Make Meaningful Change
Tell Congress to Protect Voting Rights
No one should have to choose between exercising their right to vote and fear for their loved ones. We reject any use of federal agents to intimidate voters or interfere with voting. Ask your members of Congress to pass the Protect the Polls Act, which would require the President to get congressional approval before deploying military, including ICE and the National Guard, to polling places.
Tell Congress to Invest in Global Health
Communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo are battling the second-largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded and they urgently need international support. Ask your members of Congress to ensure the pledged funds to end the current Ebola outbreak are promptly transferred, in addition to re-investing in outbreak preparedness around the world.
Tell Congress to Pass the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act
This bill would establish a commission to hold hearings for victims and survivors to share their trauma and the ongoing impact of these schools, and offer recommendations to the government for further action. Ask your members of Congress to pass the Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act.
Racial Justice Ministries
The United Church of Christ invites you to participate in Racial Justice Ministries antibias and antiracism initiatives and restorative racial justice practices. Together, we can advocate for all people to live without acts of violence or structures and systems that harm God’s human creation.
