VIA 5th Annual Convention
Save the date: November 15th 2020
We have post phoned our annual convention this year for a few reasons. But we are still just as excited to have all of us together sharing about the work we have done and imagining together the world we wish to see!
Election Season is Here!!!
On Tuesday, November 3rd 2020, we will vote our values in this year's election. In years past, our congregations have hosted a series of events across the state in order to hear from candidates about the issues you, our leaders and clergy, are most concerned about. Due to the times we find ourselves in this year, instead of in person gatherings, we will be inviting candidates to share with us in different ways.
To join us for conversations with candidates or participate in upcoming candidate forums, check out this page!
VOTER REGISTRATION: If you have moved since the last time you voted, will be 18 by November 3rd or for any other reason need to register to vote, please do so here. You can also register on election day at your polling location. Remember you vote is your voice!
EARLY VOTING/ABSENTEE BALLOT: Early voting is open and if you haven't done so already, you can request your early voter absentee ballot by visiting the Secretary of State's website or by calling your local Town Clerk's office.
