Due to popular demand, Justice and Witness Ministries (JWM), partnering with Wider Church Ministries (WCM), revives a highly respected ecumenical resource, the 2009-2010 Public Policy Briefing Book. JWM and WCM are pleased to share this helpful tool in hopes that it will be a useful instrument for individuals or congregations to engage in the justice and peace movement. Inside the briefing book you will find tips for congregational advocacy, in-depth coverage of the U.S. financial crisis and the Iraq War, and issue-by-issue coverage of domestic and international concerns likely to be acted on during this two-year session of Congress.
The United Church of Christ has a longstanding history of responding to urgent policy needs within our world. One way you help the UCC advocate for change is through the Justice and Peace Action Network (JPANet). Join JPANet
JWM and WCM thank you for your powerful witness through letters, phone calls, faxes, and cards to elected officials throughout the years. Moreover, thank you for asking us to republish this valuable resource: we have heard you.
