Ecumenical Advocacy Days is a movement of the ecumenical Christian community whose goal, through worship, theological reflection and opportunities for learning and witness, is to strengthen the Christian voice and to mobilize for advocacy on a wide variety of U.S. domestic and international policy issues.
It is time to move beyond the misdirected strategies of the past few years and envision a new pathway to true human security - one which seeks not only the absence of tension, but the presence of justice (Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.). The 2008 Ecumenical Advocacy Days assembly will explore new visions of security in our homes, our neighborhoods and our world.
Jubilee USA will once again be a partner in organizing the Jubilee & Economic Justice Track. Track participants will explore global economic justice issues, receive briefings from policy experts, hear personal testimonies from the global south, and learn advocacy strategies to apply in Washington and at home. The gathering will conclude with a visit to Capitol Hill where participants will ask their Congressional representatives to implement this vision of true security in the form of legislation.
