Our Commitment to Encouraging Voter Engagement

At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we recognize the significance of the democratic process and the impact it has on shaping our society. Through our initiative, 'The Church Votes', we aim to actively promote and educate individuals about the importance of voting, regardless of their background, beliefs, or affiliations. We firmly believe that every vote counts and can make a difference.

Building a Better Future Together

With a rich legacy of serving the San Francisco community, Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani understands the evolving needs and challenges faced by our society. By actively encouraging voter engagement, we seek to create an inclusive and equal future for all.

Our comprehensive voter engagement strategy includes:

• Community Outreach: Our dedicated team reaches out to neighborhoods, sharing information about voting deadlines, polling locations, and the impact of local and national elections.
• Candidate Forums: We host forums where community members can engage with local candidates, asking questions and gaining a deeper understanding of their positions and plans.
• Advocacy: Through our advocacy efforts, we promote policies that strengthen voter rights and accessibility, ensuring that everyone's voice is heard.

Why Voting Matters

Voting is a fundamental right and a powerful tool to shape the future of our society. When we participate in elections, we contribute to the collective decision-making process, ensuring that the leadership represents the diverse voices within our community.

By exercising our right to vote, we can:

• Drive Change: Voting allows us to support candidates and policies aligned with our values, actively influencing the social, economic, and environmental landscape.
• Protect Rights: Voting empowers us to safeguard and expand the rights of marginalized and underrepresented groups, fostering a more inclusive and equitable society.
• Encourage Accountability: Holding elected officials accountable is a critical component of a functioning democracy. By voting, we have the power to shape the behavior and policies of our representatives.
• Shape the Future: Voting allows us to shape the trajectory of our community, ensuring that future generations inherit a world that reflects our shared values and aspirations.
