#PAMFAM #PAM Women of Faith-Stronger Together!
Calling all women: It’s time to take our stand together against tyranny and injustice!
We are women of faith from a wide range of traditions and united by common values.

As racism infects policies ranging from policing to immigration to pandemic response, only an intersectional, multiracial, multifaith movement can undo the damage. As white supremacist domestic terrorists radicalized by President Donald Trump’s rhetoric
shed blood in communities from Charlottesville to El Paso to Kenosha, no racial or religious group can be left to fend for itself.
💪Women of faith are uniting in our shared commitment to human dignity, justice, equality and liberation.
If we cannot do this, the teachings of our Scriptures and guarantees of the Bill of Rights are just words on a page.
The problems we seek to solve are failures not only of values, but also of policy.
The denial of justice for Breonna Taylor. Mass incarceration and deportations, rampant violations of human rights at the border, the disproportionate devastation of communities of color amid the dual pandemics of racism and COVID-19,
record opioid overdose deaths and the spiraling climate crisis are all products of state and federal law and administrative policy.
We believe no matter how you identify or who you love, you are welcome in our congregations and at our tables and you deserve complete equality and dignity in every facet of American life.
We know women have the agency & right to make health care decisions based on their beliefs
their needs and the needs of their families. Moral autonomy regarding the starting or growing of a family belongs to people who bear children, not to politicians.
We demand equal pay for equal work and decry the massive wealth gap that leaves some mothers and children starving and without shelter while a powerful few hoard more than can be spent in a dozen lifetimes.
Every holy text we follow, from the Quran, Torah and Bible to the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib, demands a moral obligation to the most marginalized people in society.
Our Scriptures and traditions overflow with examples of lives in service to others in pursuit of justice and mercy. It is on their authority that we stand and reexamine what it means to be faithful at a time so marred by racism, hatred and division.
We are united by our religious teachings to pursue justice, equality and dignity for all.
🗳️We call on all women to unite this November and beyond around these shared beliefs — and to vote accordingly.
Righting these wrongs and defending democracy are inseparable imperatives.
That is why we are working to protect and expand voting rights and the ability to vote safely and conveniently — especially in communities of color.

We are ready to reclaim democracy from voter suppression and white supremacy between now and November.
Calling all women! Let's go!
