As people of faith, we are called to act as peacemakers and bridge-builders. We will begin 2024 by calling on all Americans to respect and improve our democracy as the best way to resolve political differences in our country nonviolently. The events of January 6, 2021 continue to divide Americans, which is of particular concern as we enter a year of important national elections amidst ongoing polarization.

On January 5, 2024 at 4-5pm Eastern (2-3pm Mountain) Franciscan Action Network and Faith in Peace Concerts will co-host the 3rd annual Faith in Democracy interfaith prayer vigil with our cosponsors, which will bring together faith leaders from several traditions to reflect on how our sacred texts and culture can guide us as we begin this crucial year. The event will be hybrid, held in person on the U.S. Capitol grounds in Washington, D.C. and live streamed on FAN’s YouTube channel for those across the country.

Please join with others to pray, sing, and reaffirm our commitment to live out our Franciscan values in 2024.
