The Civic Engagement group meets regularly to bring timely justice actions to each Sunday worship service. We pick important issues for letters, postcards, petitions, and phone calls. In addition, we network with other justice and faith groups in Phoenix and beyond.

Quickly Voice Your Concerns About Threats to Healthcare
If you have concerns about the threats to healthcare services in Arizona, such as Medicaid (AHCCCS), especially if you or others you know depend on these services, NOW is the time to tell your story. Healthcare Rising AZ (HCR) is preparing for a 2026 ballot initiative to protect Arizonans and needs your input.
To help them gather data, please fill out this survey and/or share this link with friends and family, especially those who are affected negatively by the quality of their healthcare, the cost of prescriptions, and/or the lack of mental health, dental and vision coverage. Donations to HCR are also needed to get this initiative on the ballot.
