ACTION: Veto Bible Bill & Stop Hate Bill 1840!

March 10, 2016

Empowered, Invested & Committed to Reproductive Justice

TIME-SENSITIVE ACTION ALERT!!!

Dear Partners and Friends of SisterReach Faith Programs,

Thank you for the interest and support you have shown for our work here in Tennessee, where the legislature seems to be committed to using misinterpretations of Christian scripture and Conservative Christian Privilege to promote misapplications of the law that threaten to divide and alienate our neighbors and deteriorate mental healthcare standards.

In the coming weeks, Covenant Partner and Faith Community Partner advocacy and training resources will begin to go live on the SisterReach website. Until then, please take a moment to review and sign the petitions below as well as like SisterReach Faith on Facebook and follow @SisterReach and @RevLanaFaye on Twitter to stay up to date and support people of faith in TN speaking out against attempts to legally codify hate and exclusion in the name of one who was a fighter for justice!!!!

Blessings,

Rev. A. Faye London
Inter-Faith Outreach Coordinator

SIGN ON HERE to support a petition against this legislation.

(Monday, April 4, 2016), SB 1108, which would make the bible the state book of TN, passed the Senate and is on its way to Gov. Haslam's desk.

Besides blatantly stepping on the Constitutions, mandate for separation of church and state, this bill sends a message that TN only cares about people who are Christians when even Christians are called to care for the "outsider," as equals (Leviticus 19:33)

TELL Gov. Haslam that this bill is inappropriate, exclusionary, divisive and unloving!

PEOPLE OF FAITH, SIGN ON HERE (or click the letter image) & SHARE WIDELY!!!!
