We are non-partisan\, we are organized and we are passionate about ensuring your voice is heard. And now more than ever\, we’re using our skills and expertise to move the work forward in communities everywhere. \n2020 has been a year defined by crisis. Both the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing racially motivated terrorization and killings of Black people have further exposed and exacerbated the crisis we have lived with for generations. These crises have revealed the need for democracy to deepen its commitment to the value of “we the people…for the people.” We recognize that communities are longing for candidates that communicate with them where they are. We can make that happen by bringing candidates to our organizations and neighborhoods to answer the questions that matter to our communities. \nThe Virtual Candidate Forum Training Series is a three-part series that will be offered in late August and will cover the elements of a great forum\, taking advantage of virtual environments\, moderation\, candidate recruitment\, 501c3 compliance\, and more. Faith in Texas and BE The Delta are hosting free webinars on Monday\, August 3\, 12:00-12:30pm\, Thursday\, August 6\, 7:00-7:30pm\, and Saturday\, August 8\, 10:00-10:30am to share more information about the training series. The webinars will be identical\, so just pick the time that works best for you! During the free webinars\, we will share who we are\, the power of virtual\, and the topics included in our Virtual Candidate Forum Training Series.

Our hope is that you’ll take our training\, customize it for your organization and community\, then produce an event that best fulfills your values and needs. You know your community best\, so we want to help you be the best advocate you can be. \nSo let’s do this. \nWhat: Free webinars to learn more about Faith in Texas and BE The Delta’s upcoming Virtual Candidate Forum Training Series\nWhere: Zoom – meeting info will be shared upon registration\nWhen: August 3\, 12:00-12:30pm\, Thursday\, August 6\, 7:00-7:30pm\, and Saturday\, August 8\, 10:00-10:30am (all webinars are identical)\nWho: Community organizations\, advocacy groups\, faith communities\, nonprofits\, and anyone interested in learning how to host a great virtual candidate forum!

SUMMARY:Road to Liberation Campaign Launch
DESCRIPTION:On August 30\, Faith in Texas will launch our Road to Liberation Campaign to divest from white supremacy and invest in true liberation. We will share our faith-rooted analysis of how policing and mass incarceration have been rooted in the age-old lie that some people are worth less than others – the same lie that has accommodated slavery and jim crow – and how we can free ourselves from its grasp. We’ll offer breakout sessions to explore how white supremacy shows up in our lives and communities\, and how we can take action to disrupt and dismantle it. Finally\, we will take action together to let our community and our leaders know that we will no longer submit to the chains of white supremacy and racist systems. Join us for this galvanizing event as we set off on the Road to Liberation together.
