The Civic Engagement group meets regularly to bring timely justice actions to each Sunday worship service. We pick important issues for letters, postcards, petitions, and phone calls. In addition, we network with other justice and faith groups in Phoenix and beyond.

Crucial Needs at Welcome Center / Sign Initiative Petitions
- The IRC Welcome Center is a crucial overnight way station for immigrants to shower and get clean clothing for their journeys to sponsors around the country. There is a desperate need for certain clothing items, especially men’s and women’s underwear. If you are able to, please go to their Amazon Wish List and look for the items of highest priority.
- When the AZ Legislature fails to address obvious injustices, the AZ Constitution allows citizens to propose laws. Each Sunday, we will be gathering signatures on three petitions on the issues of voting rights, dark money and caps on medical debt. It’s crucial that 237,645 signatures be gathered on all of these by early July. Find other locations where you can sign.
