Ecumenical Advocacy Days for Global Peace with Justice

description:
Ecumenical Advocacy Days began in 2003 as a gathering of 400 religious advocates concerned about U.S. foreign policy in Africa and the Middle East.  In the second year, 2004, over 600 participants from 41 states and 15 countries came together to build bridges across issues faced by the poor and disenfranchised in Asia (Korea), Africa, the Middle East, Jubilee & Economic Justice, Nuclear Disarmament, and Latin America. Each year the conference and movement has grown by the hundreds and in 2006 the conference brought close to 1,000 people of faith together (over 250 young adults) to shape a progressive, ecumenical Christian vision for peace and justice in U.S. domestic and foreign policy. In 2007, we will expect over 1,000 people of faith to gather for workshops, advocacy training, worship, and a massive advocacy effort and interfaith rally on Capitol Hill on Monday, March 12th 2007.  Come and lend your voice to a growing ecumenical chorus of pastors, activists, and leaders with the support of the policy staff of both protestant and catholic offices in Washington, DC.  For more information visit our website at www.advocacydays.org Contact:  Michael Neuroth info@advocacydays.org
