Voting Advocacy
Glenn members’ advocacy of voting rights is rooted in our knowledge that we are all children of God, created in the image of God, and should therefore be entitled to the same rights, including the right to vote. Our advocacy includes registering voters, writing to state and federal legislators in support of expanded access to the polls, serving as line warmers and poll watchers, and marching in protests against voter suppression.
