Our first letter-writing Sunday for 2024 is April 7 (deferred one week, due to Easter). We invite NJLC members and friends to sign on to letters that will be available before and after worship.
If you prefer to write an individual letter – whether to express your own reasons in support of particular actions or to express an alternative view – contact information for local and national legislators, and advocacy information, will be available for you to pick up and take home. Make your voice known for only 68 cents! Or, sign up for Arizona’s “Right to Speak” process, and express your views – for free – directly from your kitchen table!

School Lunch Letter
Farm Bill Letter
Text of letters to Senators Kelly and Sinema, and Representative Schweikert: We are writing as part of Bread for the World’s “Offering of Letters” in support of the U.S. Farm Bill. Given budget challenges in the U.S. Congress, the farm bill has not yet been reauthorized for five years. (If you would like to learn more about Bread’s broader work, you might enjoy watching this free video by CEO Rev. Eugene Cho and advocate Mr. Rick Steves.)
