 On January 21, 2021, let us come together across the country to recommit to building a nation with liberty and justice for ALL.
Multifaith Voices for Peace and Justice is excited to join The Revolutionary Love Project, along with other faith and civic organization throughout the country for this national event! The People's Inauguration will be a celebration of what is possible.
Sound government is necessary - but it won't heal and transition America into a society where we are all free.
This work belongs to us, the people. After years of injustice and division, we need a moment of collective renewal and healing. Let's create a moral vision for the America we are capable of becoming. Imagine millions of us making our own oaths - to our core values, to each other, to ourselves.
Be a part of The People Inauguration from wherever you are! CLICK HERE to register now!
