SUMMARY:Young Voices in the Public Sphere: A Faithful Call Towards Election Engagement

ELCA election engagement is where our thoughts and prayers meet the Holy Spirit’s call to action. This Abide series offers young adults the opportunity to engage with ELCA Advocacy Fellows to hear\, learn and discuss how the ELCA is approaching election engagement and why voting is important for young people. Register here.\nSession 3 of 4 (Thursdays in June)
