Congresswoman Shontel Brown Joins Cleveland Faith Leaders to Encourage People of Faith to Vote No on Issue 1

 

Cleveland, Ohio – On Monday, July 31st at 10:30 a.m., Congresswoman Shontel Brown will be joining Cleveland faith leaders ahead of the August 8th election to encourage people of faith to vote NO on Issue 1.  

 

This resolution would destroy the sacred principle of “one person one vote.” As people of faith, we must continue to pray without ceasing, not just with our words and thoughts but with our actions and ballot. We must organize our congregations, our communities and our neighbors to protect those marginalized and to protect our democracy.
