About The Event
Sojourners is one of 29 co-sponsors from The Washington Interfaith Staff Community (WISC) that are co-organizing a series of faithful witness vigils at the Capitol every Wednesday through the end of April. These multi-faith vigils call on Congress to exercise greater moral courage in upholding its Article 1 powers and stop executive overreach.
Our nation faces an escalating threat of a constitutional crisis fueled by the Trump administration’s overreach and unconstitutional actions. A lack of leadership in Congress has allowed this crisis to grow, as it cedes its role as a co-equal branch of government. The faith community is raising a prophetic and pastoral call to Congressional leaders to serve as a check and balance to advance the common good. These nonpartisan vigils speak truth to power with faith leaders from diverse traditions offering inspirational prayers and calls for faithful action.
Register today to join us either in-person or virtually. Together we can provide a faithful witness by speaking out about this mounting crisis, what is at stake, the people and communities who are already being harmed - and what we can do to make a difference!
