We have seen FAN faith communities and individuals in all corners of Washington rise up during the challenges of this year. Together we have risen up in the face of multiple pandemics: COVID-19, systemic racism, economic uncertainty, and environmental devastation. You have risen up to learn to be community in new ways, take care of neighbors, build mutual aid efforts, non-violently vigil, march and rally for Black Lives, stand with essential workers who provide healthcare and harvest our food, and more. And now you are rising up to encourage others to VOTE their values to ensure a brighter future.
Regardless of what happens in November, FAN people and communities will need to RISE UP TOGETHER to rebuild our democracy, repair divisions, resist systemic racism, and refocus on economic and environmental justice. FAN wants to support you in this shared work and accompany you in the rising!
Please join us on Sunday, November 15, 2020, for our first virtual Annual Dinner. A virtual gathering will allow MORE people from across the state to join in, expanding the traditions of our Renton and Spokane dinners! While the food served will be in your own homes, our program will be energizing and interactive. We have lived through a year that required so much of our individual strength and collective creativity. We want to take this time to celebrate with you the ways our vision of a just world keeps us going and helps sustain our courage to Rise Up Together in 2021. Your partnership (and financial support!) helps us keep advocating for inclusion, racial equity, and justice.
The Annual Dinner is free to all this year! Please RSVP by Friday, November 13 to let us know you will be there and to get the link to participate in the program: bit.ly/FANDinner2020. We invite you to consider being a Virtual Table Host with friends on Zoom—we’ll give you some ideas about how to make that fun. You are welcome as a Sponsor, and we’ll share your organization/logo in promotions. More will be revealed, once you register!
