Through advocacy, the ELCA community can create lasting, systemic change. If you want to get involved in faith-based advocacy, but aren\u2019t sure where to begin, sign up for Advocacy Summer School<\/a>. The five-part online series is being offered by ELCA advocacy, in collaboration with ELCA Peace Not Walls. <\/span><\/p>\n

The first session<\/a> will take place on August 11. It will paint a picture of what advocacy is and how advocacy is shaped with a faith foundation, especially as members and affiliates of the ELCA. Future sessions will cover ways to carry out advocacy work and specific policy issues where the Lutheran community can make an impact. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sign up for one session or all five to learn about how we can lift our voices together to advance the common good. Each virtual session will include a 30-minute virtual presentation followed by an optional question & answer session for 15 minutes.
