Thursday, August 11th
New York City Civic Engagement Commission (CEC), Office of Faith-Based and Community Partnership (FBCP), Mayor’s Community Affairs Unit (CAU) and the Interfaith Center of New York (ICNY) co-hosted “Your Faith in Action”.
In anticipation of the upcoming Primary Election on August 23rd, we held an interactive discussion on faith and civic engagement in New York City. The event offered a presentation about the primary election. We had breakout discussions to contemplate the intersection of faith and civics. During the breakout sessions, faith leaders and community leaders discussed the importance of voting and being civically engaged in your community. Faith leaders discussed issue areas of their passion and in hopes of engaging their fellow New Yorkers around those similar topics.
The event featured conversation from diverse faith leaders on concerns surrounding housing, homelessness, maternal health, mental health service and workforce development trainings.
