An Invitation to Social Action
Saint Mark, on Wednesday, February 12, from 9am to 2pm all North Georgia United Methodists are invited to participate in an Advocacy Day at the Georgia Capitol organized by Georgians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty.
This event aims to bring attention to an issue before Georgia State Legislators – ending the death penalty for individuals with intellectual disabilities. It will offer participants the opportunity to engage with lawmakers on this matter.
Bishop Robin Dease will serve as Chaplin in the State Senate that day. This work is close to the heart of United Methodists, as our Social Principles call on United Methodists to oppose the death penalty. Additionally, the 2016 North Georgia Annual Conference passed a Resolution Advocating to the End the Death Penalty.
We will gather at Trinity UMC at 8am on February 12th.
