Partners

The Moral Imperative

“We stand together because our deepest moral traditions demand it. In a time when political extremists push policies of division, inequality, and abandonment, our voices must rise together to affirm the dignity, rights, and sacred worth of every human being”.

As Organizational Partners and Anchor Congregations, you are not just allies—you are the frontline. You are the modern-day repairers of the breach, those willing to stand in the gap for justice, truth, and the common good.

Why This Moment Matters

This is a moment of stark moral choices. Legislation is being passed that attacks the most vulnerable among us—poor families, children, the elderly, low-wage workers, and immigrants—while lining the pockets of the wealthy and expanding the war economy. These are not simply bad policies. They are sins against the Imago Dei—the image of God in every person.

Our sacred scriptures and moral values compel us to act:

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves… defend the rights of the poor and needy.” — Proverbs 31:8-9

“This is not just a political crisis; it is a moral one. We cannot be silent while our brothers and sisters are suffering. We must come together across race, region, and religion to demand a future rooted in love, justice, and truth. We are called to be the conscience of this democracy—to be the repairers of the breach and the restorers of our streets.”

The High Moral Stakes: Our Budget, Our Future

The federal budget being proposed is not neutral—it is a moral crisis. It slashes food, housing, healthcare, and education for millions while pouring billions into tax breaks for billionaires and the war machine.
We must declare clearly:

A budget is a moral document.
“Any budget that gives to the rich by taking from the poor, that funds bombs but not babies, that rewards greed while our neighbors go hungry—is a betrayal of God’s justice and our common humanity.”

What It Means to Be a Mobilizing Partner

As a Mobilizing Partner, your organization or congregation becomes a vessel for truth, justice, and moral fusion organizing. Here’s how to engage:

• Mobilize Your Members: Commit to showing up—at rallies, assemblies, town halls, and in the streets. Rally your people and bear moral witness.
• Amplify the Message: Use our toolkits, graphics, videos, and sermon guides to lift the moral narrative within your networks.
• Digital Advocacy: Join us in spreading the call for justice online. Use hashtags like #1MoralVision, #1KMoralVoices, and #WeMustStand to unify the message.
• Transportation Coordination: Ensure those in your community can participate by organizing rides, carpools, or buses to events.
• Volunteer Recruitment: Grow the movement by encouraging your members to volunteer, organize, canvass, and spread the word in their communities.

This is the time to make clear whose side we’re on. Not with the powerful who hoard, but with the people who hurt. Forward together, not one step back.
