Interfaith Advocacy Day is one of the largest gatherings of people of faith in the state Capitol. We bring the voices of compassion and justice to our elected leaders. Meeting with your legislators and their staff on this day is putting your faith into action!

This year, we are moving the majority of our workshops online in the two weeks in advance of Interfaith Advocacy Day to allow folks to attend more workshops and to give an opportunity to those unable to attend IFAD to learn more about the bills. At IFAD, we will have a panel focused on revenue and the social safety net. These Pre-IFAD briefings will be your chance to learn about bills. We encourage you to sign up for the issue area(s) you are most interested in. All briefings will be recorded and sent to registrants and linked on this page, so please register even if you can’t make it. Let’s get ready for IFAD together!

• Criminal Justice Reform and Police Accountability with the ACLU and Washington Coalition for Police Accountability. Watch here
• Environmental Justice & Indigenous Rights with Climate Solutions, Front and Centered and JUUstice Washington. Watch here
• Advancing and Defending Immigrant & Refugee Rights with Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network. Read through the 1-pagers here
• Housing and Homelessness with Washington Low Income Housing Alliance on February 10 (6:30-7:30 PM) over zoom. Register here
