JOIN ST. CHARLES IN WORKING FOR JUSTICE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA!
VOICE (Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement) will hold its founding public action meeting on Sunday, October 5, at the First Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Dumfries, VA, from 4:30-7:00 p.m. A bus will leave from St. Charles at 3:30 p.m. after a pre-meeting discussion at 3 p.m., and we will also be carpooling. The full address of the church is:
First Mt. Zion Baptist Church
1622 Dumfries Road (Route 234)
Dumfries, VA 22025-1920
703-670-0184
(Directions available at http://www.fmzbc.net)
This is an important meeting, and we urge all who can to participate. VOICE is composed of nearly 40 faith communities of northern Virginia, including St. Charles. On October 5, VOICE leaders will present the VOICE action agenda on affordable housing/homelessness, immigration and health care to northern Virginia's religious, political and civic leaders. By having a large turnout, VOICE aims to convince political leaders attending to make its agenda their own. St. Charles has pledged to send 100 parishioners. Our presence as witnesses to this effort is important.
Corey Stewart, Chair of Prince William County Board of Supervisors, Gerry Connally, Chair of Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Walter Tejada, Chair of Arlington County Board., James Moran, 8th District Congressman, and Richard Saslaw, State Senator from Fairfax in the Virginia General Assembly, have committed to attend the meeting.
