Teach, Reach, Preach reflects a longstanding tradition of civic engagement rooted in the Civil Rights Movement. Change begins by teaching communities about their history, rights, and the power of civic participation, reaching people through meaningful outreach and trusted relationships, and preaching a message of hope, justice, and collective responsibility that inspires action. Together, these three pillars empower communities to become informed, engaged, and active participants in our democracy.
Teach! is all about TEACHING your community about the history and importance of civic engagement, voting, and civil rights.
REACH! Events are all about REACHING your community members through meaningful voter outreach that connects people with civic education, voting resources, and opportunities to get involved.
PREACH! Events will unite interfaith clergy and people of faith across the country to inspire community members about the importance of civic engagement and voting rights.
For all who seek justice, that our actions reflect love, kindness, and mercy, we pray to the Lord.
For humility, so that we may avoid the hubris and self-righteousness that act as obstacles to communion with all, we pray to the Lord.
Prayer
Dear God,
Please help us to be courageous in our commitment to justice for all, particularly those who are ignored and discarded. Help us to keep this commitment grounded in love and care for each person, a reflection of your abiding love for all of your children.
Amen.
