Partners e-Update
Feb/March '09
|
Greetings!
You have spoken and we got the message.
Over the past two years, NYFJ members like you have voiced strong desire to engage with a variety of justice-oriented issues in our city. Our organizational partners are doing really cool stuff in a wide range of issues--from homelessness to immigration to global poverty and economic development.
So, we got a brilliant idea: "Why not connect our fired-up members with our fired-up organizational partners?!"
So, each month NY Faith & Justice members will receive the added benefit of being personally connected with the cool stuff our organizational partners are doing through our Partners e-Update..
This month check out the action at the Latino Leadership Circle and All Angel's Church!
In Faith & Justice,
Lisa Sharon Harper
Co-Founder and Executive Director
