When national policies threaten our neighbors and weaken our democracy, it can be difficult to know where meaningful action begins. Often, it begins closer to home than we realize.
Join SojoAction on September 8th at 7pm ET for a practical conversation about how communities are organizing locally to protect immigrant families, strengthen Black political participation, and hold elected officials accountable.
J.J. Briscoe of The Workers Circle will share how the Talk to Your Sheriff campaign is helping people understand their sheriff’s relationship with ICE and organize for greater transparency and accountability. Jade Magnus Ogunnaike of Soft Power Studio will introduce Freedom Summer 2026 and the Justice Revivals, a nationwide effort working through Black churches to register and mobilize voters ahead of the midterm elections.
Together, we will explore how people of faith can turn moral conviction into organized, nonviolent action rooted in dignity, courage, and care for our neighbors.
In this conversation, you will learn:
- Why local sheriffs have an important role in immigration enforcement.
- How communities can organize meetings with their sheriff and ask informed questions.
- How Black churches are using worship, prayer, and community organizing to strengthen voter participation.
- What disciplined, faith-rooted organizing can look like in your own community.
- How to take a practical next step after the webinar.
This webinar is free, but registration is required.
