Justice Seeking Community: St. Paul and St. Andrew UMC

A Justice Seeking Community, St. Paul and St. Andrew UMC of New York City, NY has proactively encouraged voter turn out and registration.  On September 22, 2020, National Voter Registration Day, church members set up a table outside the church to help folks get registered to vote for the upcoming election.  Even more, St. Paul and St. Andrew, in partnership with SAJ and other members of the UWS Voter Engagement Coalition, has taken initiative to offer a phonebanking series.  "As we get closer to the election, phonebanking becomes an even more critical tool for voter engagement."  The goal is to offer "crucial information to help voters avoid long lines, voter intimidation on election day, and to make sure their votes count" every other Tuesday.
