Democracy, Values & the 2020 Election: A Reflection Guide for Faith Communities

Democracy, Values & the 2020 Election: Cover

The 2020 elections could not have been more significant. The outcome will set the course on climate change for years to come. On top of that, a global pandemic, a major recession, record joblessness, and our nation in turmoil over police killings that have exposed the deep inequities and racial injustice in our nation.

It’s time for some national soul-searching, and faith communities have an important role to play.

That’s why IPL partnered with Faith in Public Life to create a multi-issue faith voter reflection guide – Democracy, Values & the 2020 Election: A Reflection Guide for Faith Communities.

While IPL’s focus is climate change, the guide also addresses other urgent issues in the election, including voting rights, systemic racism in the criminal justice system, healthcare, peace, LGBTQ rights, and immigration. It has been endorsed by prominent faith groups and religious leaders at the national and state level.

We are in a moment of intense national awareness of the deep inequities and racial injustices in our communities and nation. Many are calling for fundamental change in our systems. We need leaders who share our values of loving our neighbors and caring for Creation. We need to address structures of oppression, end environmental injustice, and seriously tackle climate change to secure our children’s future. The guide addresses the urgent moral issues of our time.

If we want a country that reflects our best values, we have to participate thoughtfully.  Voting is the central sacrament of our democracy.  That’s what this guide is about.
