"...I feel a deep allegiance to the principles of compassion, integrity, and “do what is right, let the consequence follow” that represent the very best of what Utah is to me."-#MWEG member Rebecca's letter to @SenatorRomney and @SenMikeLee

bit.ly/2TP9922
"Please, senators. I know it is easy for me to sit here and ask you to be brave. It must feel like I am asking you to risk a lot. But standing for the truth and standing for what is right is what Utah is—and should be—about. I am asking you to lead."
"In this time when we need leaders to protect our government from the assault of corrupt politics. Please. Stand up for a fair and impartial impeachment trial in the senate. Let the consequence follow."

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM MWEG ON THE JAN 6 COMMISSION
On Jan. 6, 2021, violent insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol with the stated intent to subvert the democratically manifested will of the American people and stop the peaceful transition of power.
1/
These unprecedented events caused irreparable harm. Amid the throng of insurrectionists, several lost their lives and hundreds were injured. Slow law enforcement and military response exposed national security risks, fractured citizens' trust, and weakened our nation.
2/
Yesterday the Capitol was the site of a quieter and perhaps more lasting assault. Rejecting good faith efforts on the part of Democratic leadership to construct a bipartisan investigative commission, GOP leadership and 35 senators effectually sided with the insurrectionists.

@mattdizwhitlock Quick reminder: our faith has a lay clergy & spiritual credentialing isn't a thing. Messages of faith aren't legitimized through attendance in 1 hour classes in HS (you) or by earning 2 Masters and a PhD from the prestigious Union Seminary (@ReverendWarnock) 1/8
People of good faith have a right to share their beliefs regardless. God doesn’t care about degrees. And disqualifying someone from political service because your interpretation of their beliefs doesn’t align with yours is an act of bad faith. Both religiously and politically 2/8
This pernicious technique has regularly been applied to members of our own faith. It is toxic. But perhaps worse, it has historically been used to disqualify Black Americans. It was regularly used against MLK. 3/8

You've heard of #QAnon. But do you know what it's all about?
1/4
So why has QAnon amassed a following? Its believers feel disenfranchised & think they're insiders in an information war. It harnesses fears and creates a sense of community. Some women link their maternal call to protect the innocent with Q's anti-child-trafficking messaging.
2/4
QAnon IS dangerous. Followers have been arrested for violence and have spread racist/anti-Semitic rhetoric. Q has hindered human rights/public health efforts by perpetuating myths. QAnon erodes a sense of shared truth and values, causing cynicism, division, and disengagement.

Make sure each eligible voter in your social circle:

1. is registered to vote.
2. has a voter plan.
3. is prepared to be an informed #PrincipledVoter.

That is far more effective than this "doomscrolling" situation happening on here.

#GrowYourVote, not your eye strain.
It's as simple as this:
"Hey Stacy, I was just wanting to check in. I remember you had moved over the summer. Did you get your voter registration updated? This link will help you check your registration. p2a.co/XxqPyzb/voter-…
I just checked mine too!"
You can also call up your old college roommate who says "politics isn't for me" and talk about the issues that matter to you. Help them see how policy impacts their lives and those around them. Do they care about education policy? Clean air? Racial injustice?
Talk to them.

Thanks @LizMair! Exciting to see MWEG in the New York Times.
For the first time in our lives, women of our faith have the opportunity to have an impact in a national election create a more expansive political environment within our communities. nytimes.com/2020/10/02/opi…
Executive Director, @EmmaMWEG, said “While our members fall all over the political spectrum, we have found that many continue to become more frustrated with rhetoric and policies from this president’s administration and how it doesn’t match their values.”
Being frustrated with our political system is simply not enough. Our #GrowYourVote toolkit is explicitly designed to help you amplify your voice and find other principled voters in your communities. Sometimes democracy is easy, right now it is hard.
